Case Report - Amoebiasis cutis in HIV positive patient
Medknow Publications on behalf of The Indian Association of Dermatologists Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL), 2006Co-Authors: Ra Bumb, Rd MehtaAbstract:Protozoan infections of the skin, particularly Cutaneous Amoebiasis, are rare in HIV-positive patients. We report a case of Amoebiasis cutis in an HIV-positive truck driver with a history of frequent unprotected sexual exposures. He presented with multiple painful ulcers and sinuses with purulent discharge, necrotic slough and scarring in the perianal and gluteal region for the last 2 years. He was positive for HIV-1 and -2. Cutaneous biopsy revealed numerous Entamoeba histolytica in the trophozoite form, in addition to an inflammatory infiltrate and necrotic debris. He responded well to oral metronidazole and chloroquine. Amoebiasis cutis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of perianal ulcers, particularly in HIV-positive patients

Continuous positive airway pressure-associated Cutaneous Amoebiasis in an immunosuppressed patient.
The British journal of dermatology, 2016Co-Authors: R.e. Sells, C.a. Chen, M.t. Wong, Mary Jane Zimarowski, James E. Kirby, Robin JoyceAbstract:Organisms of the genus Acanthamoeba are environmentally ubiquitous and colonizers of the oral mucosa in humans. While largely asymptomatic in healthy persons, Acanthamoeba infection can cause disseminated disease with poor prognosis in immunosuppressed populations. Here we report a unique case of Cutaneous Amoebiasis associated with continuous positive airway pressure use in an immunosuppressed patient.

[A Dutchman from Mali with a perianal ulcer caused by Cutaneous Amoebiasis],Een Nederlander uit Mali met een perianaal ulcus veroorzaakt door cutane Amoebiasis
2005Co-Authors: Kroft E.b.m., Warris A., Jansen L.e., Crevel R. VanAbstract:Contains fulltext : 47384.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access)A 66-year-old Dutchman, living in Mali, presented with an extensive progressive perianal ulcer despite local and antibiotic treatment. Microscopic examination of the stool revealed Entamoeba histolytica/dispar cysts and phagocytosing trophozoites were seen in fresh scrapings of the ulcer, a diagnostic feature of infection with E. histolytica. The diagnosis was Cutaneous Amoebiasis and the patient was effectively treated with metronidazole and local debridements. Primary Cutaneous Amoebiasis is a rare disease. Diagnosis and treatment are relatively simple but lack of familiarity with the disease may lead to misdiagnosis or diagnosis at a late stage ofthe infection
