| Abstract: | We report a case of an amebic brain abscess in a 2-year-old girl, with symptoms mimicking bacterial meningitis with no evidence of disease elsewhere. Histological evaluation of the abscess revealed the organisms, and the abscess regressed in response to specific medical treatment. This article reviews the rarity of these abscesses and difficulty in the diagnosis. |
