title: [Fever and right upper abdominal pain in a 26-year-old returning from travel abroad].
abstract: Persistent fever and unspecific general symptoms need a complete and detailed medical history and search for infection. We report on a case of amebiasis with liver abscesses of a 26-year-old man. He had stayed several weeks in India and South America. After being free of complaints for 4 months, unspecific general symptoms and fever appeared. Due to proven liver abscesses, a combination treatment was given. Within 12 days, he was free of symptoms and could be discharged.
