Abstract
Author's report a case of visceral amebiasis in a 26 year old woman, clinically characterized by pericarditis, without any other symptoms related to organs usually interested in such disease. It was possible to reach an etiological diagnosis by indirect hemagglutination assay. The successful treatment with metronidazole confirmed the etiology "ex adjuvantibus".
