ABSTRACT
Some cases have reported that amebic colitis leads to serious complications that are caused by a misdiagnosis of an inflammatory bowel disease and consequential ill-managed steroid therapy. Therefore, it should be stressed that the differential diagnosis on such a case is very important. Eosinophilic colitis may reveal its presence as diarrhea, abdominal pain, ascites, and eosinophilic deposits in tissues. Therefore, it is highly necessary to make a differential diagnosis to distinguish eosinophilic colitis from other infectious or inflammatory bowel diseases. We report a case of amebic colitis, which was mistakenly diagnosed as eosinophilic colitis and a liver eosinophilic abscess in a young male who complained of bloody diarrhea and right upper quadrant pain. However, the misdiagnosed steroid therapy did not aggravate the progress of the amebic infection.
