Cutaneous amebiasis is a rare manifestation of infection with the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. We describe this infestation in a 9-year-old Mexican immigrant who presented with diarrhea and perianal ulcers. To our knowledge, this is only the tenth child with cutaneous amebiasis reported in the literature, and only the second from the United States. We review previous reports and emphasize the importance of a high index of clinical suspicion for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent potentially serious morbidity and even mortality.
皮肤阿米巴病是溶组织内阿米巴寄生虫感染的一种罕见表现。我们描述了一名9岁墨西哥移民的这种感染情况，该患者出现腹泻和肛周溃疡。据我们所知，这是文献中报道的第十例儿童皮肤阿米巴病，且仅为美国的第二例。我们回顾了既往报告，并强调临床高度怀疑对于早期诊断和治疗的重要性，以预防潜在的严重发病甚至死亡。
