Abstract
A patient with amebic abscess of the liver was treated with standard doses of metronidazole but remained febrile and pulmonary complications developed. Only after other forms of treatment including aspiration and administration of chloroquine phosphate and emetine hydrochloride did he begin to improve and ultimately to recover.Keywords
