Absceso hepático y VIH: a propósito de un caso

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.
