Notes:
Abstract Latent amoebiasis is aggravated at high altitude. Protean manifestations are common. Fever is usually absent. Liver tenderness is not a feature and may have to be specially elicited. Leucocytosis is rare. Bowel symptoms inspite of presence of intestinal ulcerations are usually absent. Response to treatment with emetine or chloroquin is unsatisfactory and relapse rate is high. These points may interest mountaineers and other sojourners to high altitude.
