Necrotizing amoebic colitis is a rare clinical form of amebosis that is associated with high morbidity and mortality.
Case Report: We present a 68-years-old-female patient with necrotizing amoebic colitis with multiple perforations who survived after right hemicolectomy with ileus-transverse anastomosis.
