Abstract

A 7-month-old girl developed cutaneous amebiasis of the perianal and genital areas in association with amebic dysentery. The diagnosis was based on the identification of Entamoeba histolytica by skin biopsy. She was treated with dehydroemetine and metronidazole with excellent results. This is only the eighth reported case of this disease in a child.
