Abstract
Up to 30% of patients with Crohn's disease are refractory to corticoesteroids. Currently, these patients are treated with inmunosupressive or biologic therapies or surgery. A proper differential diagnosis must be established knowing that many infections can mimic inflamatory bowel disease, and the diagnosis is not always easy. A case of an ileocolonic Crohn's disease refractory to corticosteroid because an Entamoeba histolytica infection in a patient without epidemiologic risk factors is presented.
