Abstract
Acute fulminating amoebic colitis is a very uncommon complication of amoebiasis. Most patients die, with or without surgery. We report such a patient who survived after total colectomy. If an excision of diseased colon is done, an exteriorising procedure should be added and primary anastomosis avoided.Entities:
