ABSTRACT We looked at the effect of inhibiting caspases on amebic liver abscess in the mouse model of infection. A dose of the pan-caspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-V-A-D-O-methyl fluoromethyl ketone (Z-VAD-FMK; R & D Systems) given to SCID mice 2 h prior to direct hepatic inoculation with Entamoeba histolyticatrophozoites, and 12 h after amebic inoculation, reduced the mean liver abscess size by 70% at 24 h compared to a control group. These data indicate that apoptosis plays a significant but not an exclusive role in amebic liver abscess formation in the mouse model.

An infant with cutaneous amebiasis of the vulva and amebic liver abscess is described. Epidemiologic investigations and serologic studies were crucial in establishing the diagnosis. The vulvar amebic ulcers responded dramatically to metronidazole therapy. Cutaneous amebiasis is a rare complication of Entamoeba histolytica infection which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of perineovulvar or penile ulcers. Cutaneous amebiasis may also occur on the abdominal wall surrounding a draining hepatic abscess, colostomy site, or laparotomy incision.
