Amebiasis is an endemic protozoal infection in developing countries. Extra-intestinal involvement in the form of abscess is frequently seen in liver and lungs. The occurrence of amebic brain abscess is a rare and life-threatening presentation of systemic amebiasis. Here, we report a case of a young male who simultaneously presented with amebic liver and brain abscesses. He was successfully managed with intravenous metronidazole, other antibiotics, and drainage of both brain and hepatic abscesses along with supportive measures. The rare occurrence of this simultaneous presentation of amebic hepatic and brain abscess, prompted us to report this case.
阿米巴病是发展中国家的一种地方性原生动物感染。以脓肿形式出现的肠外受累在肝脏和肺部较为常见。阿米巴脑脓肿的发生是全身性阿米巴病一种罕见且危及生命的表现形式。在此，我们报告一例年轻男性同时出现阿米巴肝脓肿和脑脓肿的病例。通过静脉注射甲硝唑、其他抗生素，以及对脑脓肿和肝脓肿进行引流并辅以支持治疗措施，他得到了成功救治。这种阿米巴肝脓肿和脑脓肿同时出现的罕见情况促使我们报告此病例。
