RESUMO
Twelve patients with amebic liver abscess were admitted to a university hospital. Ten of these patients were admitted through the emergency department. Patients, especially men from third world countries, with fever, right upper quadrant pain, and leukocytosis are at high risk for this disease and should have the diagnosis confirmed with amebic serology and ultrasonography or computed tomography.
