In January 1989--December 1991 period we verified 35 cases of symptomatic intestinal amebiasis in Antofagasta, the main city of the North of Chile. Out of the total number of studied patients 23 were adults (77.1% males and 22.9% females) and all of them were permanent residents of Antofagasta. E.histolytica was frequently detected in association with other parasites and/or commensals, and observed alone in only seven cases. The clinical and epidemiological aspects of these 35 cases are discussed.
