Steroid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs had been given at a regional hospital with transient partial response followed by rebound of local symptoms and progression of leukocytosis. He has been stayed for 4 months in Jakarta, Indonesia. He denied history of previous pharyngitis or sulfonamide exposure. Erythema nodosum was diagnosed and a diagnostic process for potential etiologies was began. An abnormal alkaline phosphatase and y-glutamyl transpeptidase lead to an abdominal computed tomography, which disclosed edematous transverse colon with increased mucosal contrast enhancement. At the same time the patient reported new fresh-blood-tinged stool passage. A colonoscopy revealed multiple ulcers at ascending colon. Serum indirect hemagglutination tost for amoeba was positive (titer 1:256). Biopsy of the colon revealed amoebic trophozoite with erythrocyte phagocytosis. Stool PCR for Entamoeba histolytica was positive at CDC laboratory. Amoebic colitis in a HIV-negative healthy adult was (iagnosed. Erythema nodosum is a rare presenting symptom for amoebiasis. There were only two cases reported In the literature. Considering erythema nodosum is an immune-mediated presention, diagnostic approach for underlying etiology is paramount important particularly when steroid therapy is considered. |
