| Popis: |
Disseminated Acanthamoeba infection has been described in immunocompromised or debilitated patients. The usual sites of involvement are skin, sinus, and brain. Sporadic reports of Acanthamoeba infection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus are present in recent literature, predominantly in adults, and one case involving an 8-year-old child. We describe a case of amebic osteomyelitis, seen in a 6-year-old child with vertically acquired human immunodeficiency virus and a 6-month history of cutaneous Acanthamoeba infection. |
