[Hepatic amebiasis at Niamey Hospital (Nigeria)].
The authors report the results of a prospective study on hepatic amebiasis realized in national hospital of Niamey (Republic of Niger). Hepatic amebiasis is uncommon in Niger as in other hot and dry countries of Africa whereas it is common in hot and damp areas of the continent. These results point out the hypothesis of a hepatotropic strain of Entamoeba histolytica uncommon in Sahelia area whereas the amebiasis infestation is frequent.
