Appendicitis is the most common pathology requiring urgent abdominal operation in childhood and it develops as a result of obstruction and inflammation of the appendix lumen. Multiple parasitic infections originating from the digestive system may cause the development of acute appendicitis symptoms. However, parasitic infections are rarely among the causes of appendicitis in developed countries (1). Amebic appendicitis is an intestinal involvement type of invasive amebiasis which is rarely observed. Although the prevalence of amebiasis is reported 0.52.3% in the regions considered endemic based on the studies, 30.7% of the amebic appendicitis cases are complicated appendicitis and its mortality rate is higher than those who are non-amebic (2). A rare case with chronic appendicitis secondary to amebiasis was presented in this article to draw attention to the issue.
