[Peritonitis caused by the rupture of an amebic abscess of the liver in childhood].
The peritonitis from the rupture of the amebic liver's abscess is a not rare complication of the hepatic amebiasis in the children, with a poor prognosis. The usual treatment is loaded with a high morbility and mortality. The AA show a therapeutic screen based on saucerization with debridment and on the installation of a disposal of peritoneal washing. The above mentioned treatment is looking at the recovery of the organ and consequently at the direct removal of the "primum movens" of the septic shock and generalized peritonitis.
