Abstract

Amebiasis, the parasitic disease caused by Entamoeba histolytica, may result in extra-intestinal diseases among which liver abscess is the most common manifestation. We report two cases of amebic liver abscess illustrating the inequal sensitivity of serologic tests detecting anti-amebic antibodies.
