amebiasis intestinal - amebic dyssentery
Definition for amebiasis intestinal
Several protozoan species in the genus Entamoeba infect humans, but not all of them are associated with disease.
more
Several protozoan species in the genus Entamoeba infect humans, but not all of them are associated with disease. Entamoeba histolytica is well recognized as a pathogenic ameba, associated with intestinal and extraintestinal infections. The other species are important because they may be confused with E. histolytica in diagnostic investigations.
