An unusual amebic localization on the right hip.
We report the history of a 43-year-old man with a histopathologically confirmed invasive amebic abscess in his right hip. CT scan of the liver was normal. The amebic indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test was positive with a titer of 1/1,024. The patient developed acute renal failure and died within 48 h of admission with multiple organ failure due to sepsis.
