ABSTRACT
An elderly bisexual male AIDS patient, whose CD4 cell count was 128/mm3 and HIV-RNA was 3.0x10(5) copies/ml, was admitted because of amebic liver abscess and poor nutritional condition. He was treated with daily doses of 1,500 mg of metronidazole for 14 days for amebic liver abscess and with anti-HIV drugs; good therapeutic results were observed. Our study indicates that amebic liver abscess is easily treated by appropriate administration of metronidazole even in an old AIDS patient receiving anti-HIV drugs with low CD4 cell counts and high HIV-RNA values.
