Amoeboma is a rare manifestation of intestinal amoebiasis. More than 90% of patients with intestinal amoebiasis have a history of diarrhoea. This report describes the case of a 60-year-old patient who presented with a right iliac fossa (RIF) mass with normal bowel habits and was eventually diagnosed with an amoeboma. In developing countries, a traditional differential diagnosis for an RIF mass ...

The role of macrophages in intestinal amoebiasis in mice has been investigated. The effect of injuring host macrophages on the course of infection was examined by using strains selected as being either genetically susceptible (C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6) or genetically resistant (A/J) to amoebiasis. Mice were treated with an intravenous injection of silica particles 1 day before infection with 2.5 X 10(5...

background : ulcerative colitis an inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) and chronically idiopathic immune related that associates with extraintestinal manifestations such as arthritis. despite of the highly specificity ofanti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (ccp) antibodies for rheumatoid arthritis, their role in ibd remains unclear . there are only a few studies on the prevalence of anti-ccp antibodi...

Dear Editor, Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of intestinal amoebiasis affects more than 50 million people worldwide. Amoebiasis is considered to be the most common parasitic infection particularly in the tropics and subtropics.[1] It is the second leading cause of the death from parasitic diseases worldwide.[2] Humans are the primary reservoir and infection happens to be by ingestion...

many microscopic-based epidemiological surveys on the prevalence of human intestinal pathogenic and non-pathogenic protozoa including intestinal amoeba performed in iran show a high prevalence of human intestinal amoeba in different parts of iran. such epidemiological studies on amoebiasis are confusing, mainly due to recently appreciated distinction between the entamoeba histolytica , e. dispa...

Objective. To study the features of clinical picture mixed intestinal infections in patients treated at Regional Infectious Clinical Hospital named after A.M. Nichoga period from 2017 to 2021.
 Materials and methods. The was studied 55 with infection who were (Astrakhan).
 Results. Mixed most cases registered summer-autumn (51 % 92.7 %) form sporadic morbidity. Epidemiological anamnes...

Although an infection with Entamoeba histolytica is most commonly asympto-matic, the potential for invasive, metastatic disease, coupled with its high prevalence , makes amoebiasis a major health problem throughout much of the world. Most amoebiasis-related mortality stems from extra-intestinal infection. In these cases, trophozoites penetrate the epithelial layer and lamina propria of the bowe...

The clinical study records the clinical presentations of forty cases with amoebias and / or giardiasis including the efficacy of Kutaja (Holarrhena antidysenterica) in intestinal amoebiasis. E. H. Cyst passers also have symptoms like loose motions, constipation, flatulence, abdominal cramping, diminished appetite and mucus in stools. Patients with giardiasis have more tendency to diarrhoea and ...

Progress report New developments in the therapy of amoebiasis Although frequently overlooked in practice, it has long been taught that for the adequate therapy of invasive amoebiasis treatment should be directed at all the sites where Entamoeba histolytica may be present. Hence the ideal amoebicide should be active within the bowel lumen, in the bowel wall, and systemically, particularly in the...

INTRODUCTION Amoebiasis is the third most frequent cause of mortality after malaria and schistosomiasis. In developed countries, amebiasis is also seen in migrants who have travelled to endemic areas. The factors responsible for its progression from intestinal amebiasis to an amebic liver abscess are not fully understood. CASE PRESENTATION A 54-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, feve...
