Unusual multiple large abscesses of the liver: interest of the radiological features and the real-time PCR to distinguish between bacterial and amebic etiologies

Résumé

We report a rare case of amebiasis generating 19 large liver abscesses. Such a quantity of abscesses is rare, especially when occurring in a young casual traveler without any immunodeficiency disorders. A possible co-infection was excluded. By contrast, the amebic etiology was confirmed by means of serology and real-time PCR.
