Abstract

Amebic pericarditis in a 40-year-old man who presented with insidious onset of symptoms is reported. Pericarditis is an infrequent complication of liver abscess and accounts for 4 percent of all extraintestinal amebiasis. Communication between the left lobe of liver and pericardium has been demonstrated in this patient.
