After giving their diagnostic criteria, the authors report 8 cases of amoebic dysentery observed in children, in New Caledonia. The young patients' age ranges from 2 to 8. Clinical symptoms are the same as in adults but anemia and malnutrition are frequently associated to amoebiasis as well as various intestinal nematodes. Serological test has little value in colic amoebiasis but is useful to rule out an hepatic localization. Treatment is easy and effective with metronidazole.
在给出诊断标准后，作者报告了在新喀里多尼亚观察到的8例儿童阿米巴痢疾病例。这些年轻患者的年龄在2岁至8岁之间。临床症状与成人相同，但贫血和营养不良经常与阿米巴病以及各种肠道线虫相关联。血清学检测在结肠阿米巴病中价值不大，但有助于排除肝脏定位。使用甲硝唑治疗简单有效。
