MORPHOLOGY

The trophozoites are 20-30 µm in diameter and contain a vesicular nucleus

MORPHOLOGY The trophozoites are 20-30 µm in diameter and contain a vesicular
with a central endosome, peripheral chromatin and radial achromatic fibrils (imparting a 'cart-wheel' appearance). The cysts are spherical measuring 10-15 µm in diameter and have 4 nuclei.

CYST MORPHOLOGY

Cysts are typically found in formed stool, whereas trophozoites are typically found

CYST MORPHOLOGY Cysts are typically found in formed stool, whereas trophozoites are
in diarrheal stool. Infection with Entamoeba histolytica (and E.dispar) occurs via ingestion of mature cysts from fecally contaminated food, water, or hands.

LIFE CYCLE

Infection by Entamoeba histolytica occurs by ingestion of mature cysts (2) in fecally

LIFE CYCLE Infection by Entamoeba histolytica occurs by ingestion of mature cysts
contaminated food, water, or hands. Excystation (3) occurs in the small intestine and trophozoites (4) are released, which migrate to the large intestine.

PATHOGENECITY Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is the etiologic agent of amoebiasis
humans. It exists in two forms—the trophozoite which is the active, dividing form, and the cyst which is dormant and can survive for prolonged periods outside the host. In most infected individuals the trophozoites exist as commensals.

DISEASE

Entamoeba histolytica is an anaerobic parasitic amoebozoan, part of the genus Entamoeba.

DISEASE Entamoeba histolytica is an anaerobic parasitic amoebozoan, part of the genus
Predominantly infecting humans and other primates causing amoebiasis, E. histolytica is estimated to infect about 35-50 million people worldwide. E. histolytica infection is estimated to kill more than 55,000 people each year.

DIAGNOSIS

A single stool examination has a low sensitivity of detecting the parasite

DIAGNOSIS A single stool examination has a low sensitivity of detecting the
. The best diagnostic method is detection of E. histolytica antigen or DNA in stool . Clinical diagnosis of amebiasis is difficult because of the nonspecific nature of symptoms

Слайд 17

TREATMENT

To treat invasive amebiasis, metronidazole (Flagyl, MetroGel, Noritate) is recommended even for amoebic liver

TREATMENT To treat invasive amebiasis, metronidazole (Flagyl, MetroGel, Noritate) is recommended even
abscesses (up to 10 cm sized abscesses). Tinidazole (Tindamax) is FDA approved for treatment of both intestinal or extraintestinal (invasive) amebiasis.
