A 3-year-old boy with hepatopulmonary amebiasis treated with chloroquine phosphate for 20 days subsequently was found to have three brain abscesses and responded to prolonged combined therapy with metronidazole and chloroquine phosphate. Cerebral amebiasis should be considered in any patient with amebic dysentery, hepatic abscess, or pulmonary involvement in whom signs or symptoms of central nervous system involvement appear. A prolonged course of appropriate therapy with periodic brain scanning for evidence of improvement is suggested.
一名3岁男孩患肝肺阿米巴病，用磷酸氯喹治疗20天后，发现有3个脑脓肿，经甲硝唑和磷酸氯喹联合长期治疗后病情好转。对于任何患有阿米巴痢疾、肝脓肿或肺部病变且出现中枢神经系统受累体征或症状的患者，均应考虑脑型阿米巴病。建议采用适当的长期治疗方案，并定期进行脑部扫描以观察病情改善情况。
