A 29-year-old Indian patient was admitted to the authors' pulmonary clinic with cough and fever. Community-acquired pneumonia was initially suspected. Various antibiotic therapies were administered, which did not lead to any clinical improvement. Despite detailed diagnostics, no pathogen was found. Computed tomography showed rapidly progressive pneumonia in the left upper lobe. Since the infection could not be managed conservatively, upper lobe resection was performed. Histologically, an amoebic abscess was found to be the cause of the infection. Since cerebral and hepatic abscesses were also found, hematogenous dissemination may be assumed.
