title: [Necrotizing amoebic colitis (a propos of 12 cases observed in Dakar)].
abstract: Twelve cases of necrotizing amoebic colitis recorded in Dakar Hospital Principal are studied. The authors draw basis rules for an early surgical indication giving opportunity to detect not too extensive lesions and implement intensive care which may prove effective. Prognosis is still unfavourable with a death rate of two thirds.
