Recently, it has been discovered that persons with symptom-causing amebiasis are infected with Entamoeba histolytica, and those individuals who exhibit no symptoms are actually infected with an almost identical-looking ameba called Entamoeba dispar.
The signs and symptoms of amebiasis vary according to the location and severity of the infection and are classified as follows: Intestinal amebiasis.Extraintestinal amebiasis
CHRONIC NON-DYSENTERIC INFECTION. Individuals may experience symptoms over a long period of time.and experience recurrent episodes of diarrhea.These patients may also suffer from abdominal cramps, fatigue, and weight loss.
An amebiasis is an infectious disease caused by a parasite, Entamoeba histolytica.
Extraintestinal amebiasis accounts for approximately 10% of all reported amebiasis cases.The most common form of extraintestinal amebiasis is amebic abscess of the liver.Other forms.include infections of the lungs, chest cavity, brain, or genitals.
No, amebiasis is not caused by bacteria. It is an infection caused by a parasite called Entamoeba histolytica.
Amebiasis is an infection caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. It primarily affects the intestines, leading to symptoms like diarrhea, stomach pain, and fever. In severe cases, the parasite can invade other organs, such as the liver, causing abscesses and potentially life-threatening complications.
Asymptomatic-- Persons who carry a disease and are usually capable of transmitting the disease but who do not exhibit symptoms of the disease are said to be asymptomatic.
.A diagnosis of amebiasis may be confirmed by one or more tests, depending on the location of the disease.Stool examination.Sigmoidoscopy.Blood tests.Imaging studies
during amebiasis patient feel pain in his/her upper abdomen,the pain is not regular or constant it emerges off and on with some intensity and while passing motion some solid -like a bunddle comes out from his /her body.When it becomes acute some mucus also comes out with these pale like or some times watery motion.It causes weakness to the patients.
Human beings are the only known host of the amebiasis organism, and all groups of people, regardless of age or sex, can become affected.
Entamoeba histolytica,and.Entamoeba dispar.two very different forms:the infective cyst or capsuled form,which cannot move but can survive outside the human body.and the disease-producing form,the trophozoite.cannot survive once excreted in the feces
Many individuals with WM have no symptoms of the disease. This is known as asymptomatic macroglobulinemia. When symptoms of WM are present, they may vary greatly
