| Core Tip |
The fulminant form of amebic colitis leads to severe, life-threatening complications such as intestinal perforation, peritonitis, and sepsis. We missed the diagnosis in a patient on steroid therapy who had a positive cytomegalovirus antigen test result. A high index of suspicion for possible Entamoeba histolytica infection is required. This is particularly relevant in patients with severe colitis that progresses after steroid therapy. We recommend preemptive treatment, even without a definite diagnosis, because of the high mortality rate. |
