ABSTRACT
During a flight to Kenya, a 42-year-old man took a therapeutic dose of chloroquine because of fever. He regularly travelled to Africa and always took chloroquine and proguanil for malaria prophylaxis. The fever disappeared but he did not fully recover. He complained of malaise and weight loss. Fourteen years previously he had suffered from amoebic dysentery. One month after the onset of the patient's complaints, an amoebic liver abscess was suspected on the basis of his medical history, an elevated ESR and a slight leukocytosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography and serology.
