How does dysentery enters the body?
Dysentery is a disease of the intestinal tract cause by Amoeba
(ah-MEE-bah) parasites. These parasites multiply rapidly by
dividing, and attack the lining of the intestines. This results in
cramping and diarrhea, sometimes bloody, for a long period of
time.
The damaged intestinal tract is also susceptible to infection by
harmful bacteria along with the parasitic attack, so treatment may
include an antibiotic along with an amoebicide.
These parasites are usually spread by drinking contaminated
water or eating contaminated raw foods.
