E histolytica seems not to be responsible for many of the bowel complaints commonly attributed to it. In these cyst passers the cysts are probably incidental to an irritable bowel syndrome or some other organic disease. There seems to be little justification for treating cyst passers since eradication of the parasite occurs spontaneously and the danger of invasive amoebiasis is negligible. Such a practice would result in an enormous saving on the cost of drugs.
