MENENDEZ CAPOTE, Reinaldo; PORTELA RAMIREZ, Daniel  and  BANDERA TIRADO, Juan Francisco. Absceso hepático y VIH: a propósito de un caso. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 2003, vol.55, n.1, pp. 47-49. ISSN 1561-3054.

The association of a liver abscess of possible amebic etiology with HIV in a Cuban patient that worked in the Republic of Ethiopia was described. This is important because during the time elapsed since the HIV was described, multiple opportunistic infections were reported, some of them capable of giving rise to the formation of liver abscesses, but none of them with an amebic etiology. In addition, this patient was the first case of liver abscess of possible amebic etiology reported in the whole population of HIV (+) patients studied at "Pedro Kouri" Institute of Tropical Medicine.

Keywords : HIV INFECTIONS [complications]; LIVER ABSCESS [etiology]; LIVER ABSCESS, AMEBIC; AIDS-RELATED OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS; ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME [complications].
