[Positive amebic immunofluorescence reaction during hepatic brucellosis].
While a brucellosis disease proved with bacteriological and serological tests, a serodiagnostic of amebiasis using the immunofluorescence techniques has been positive toward a dilution of 1/320. The authors think to have a false positive reaction in amebiasis. Even though the anatomopathological examination of the liver did not show any amoebiasis focus, we can see some histological lesions due to a present or an old brucellosis disease.
