Case report of a 8 month-old North-African infant with liver amebiasis. This disease is not rare in young children and may be observed in all endemic zones of amebiasis. The clinical characteristics, special for the age, and the biological features are reviewed. The diagnosis relies on immunological tests. Treatment is essentially medical, metronidazole often being effective.
