Although 90% of E. histolytica infections are asymptomatic, amoebiasis might present symptoms such as diarrhea that contains blood or mucus. This disease is commonly caused by consuming food or water contaminated by feces containing E. histolytica cyst, the infectious form of the parasite, but it can also be spread sexually by oral-anal contact. Infection occurs worldwide but it is more common in low-income countries with inadequate public health.  Developing countries of Central and South America, Africa, and Asia have high rates of infection. Amebiasis generally affects individuals of all ages and there is no gender difference in amebiasis in children. However, invasive disease is more common in males than females in the adult population. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Symptoms<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nAmebiasis symptoms vary from asymptomatic to rare severe infection. Amebiasis has two main clinical forms: intestinal and extraintestinal. E. histolytica primarily causes intestinal amebiasis and symptoms typically appear gradually over one to three weeks. Common symptoms include diarrhea, bloody stools, nausea and vomiting, stomach pain, weight loss, and high fever.<br \/>\nExtraintestinal amebiasis happens when the parasite enters the bloodstream, it can spread through the body and reach organs like liver, lungs, and brain. Extraintestinal amebiasis is characterized by a variety of illnesses depending on the affected organ. The two most common types of extraintestinal amebiasis are hepatic and pulmonary amebiasis. Amoebic liver abscess (collection of pus in the liver) can develop months or years after an individual has been exposed. Symptoms include fever, soreness in the right upper quadrant, and less than 10% of patients experience jaundice. Pulmonary involvement of the disease can result in symptoms including fever, coughing, and respiratory discomfort.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"dim\">Amoebic Dysentery vs Other Diarrhea<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nDiarrhea is defined as increase in water content in stools caused by an imbalance in the normal functioning of intestines that are responsible for the absorption of different ions, other substrates, and ultimately water. Diarrhea is categorized into acute or chronic and infectious or non-infectious. Infection is the common cause of diarrhea and most cases are caused by viral infection so typically characterized by non-bloody watery stools. On the other hand, dysentery is an intestinal infection that causes bloody or mucus-filled diarrhea. There are two main types of dysentery, amoebic and bacillary dysentery.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"dim\">Diagnostic test<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nAmebiasis can be diagnosed by observing the organism using direct microscopy of stools or rectal swabs. If your doctor suspects you have dysentery, they will request a stool culture and send your sample to a laboratorium. However cultures are not always positive with a success rate of roughly 60% and present in only 30% of cases. The severity of your diarrhea can be determined by a complete blood count, electrolyte measurements, and kidney function test. A colonoscopy can also be considered suitable when the stool tests are negative for amebiasis. Your physician may order additional testing like CT scan particularly in extraintestinal amebiasis cases.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"dim\">Treatment<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nDysentery is potentially fatal and extremely dangerous if not treated properly especially to young children, people over the age of 50, pregnant women, and those who have dehydration or malnutrition. The mortality rate is less than 1% for patients who have uncomplicated infections and receive early treatment. Thus, all E. histolytica infection must be treated to eliminate the possibility of spreading and developing extraintestinal symptoms. Patients should contact their healthcare provider if they have symptoms of diarrhea and bloody stools to receive further examination and proper treatment. Treatment of this disease includes antibiotics that must be prescribed by a physician and symptomatic medication such as antiemetic. Patients are also advised to drink plenty of fluid to prevent dehydration.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Prevention<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><\/p>\n<div style=\" padding: 1.5em 1em; margin: 2em 0; color: #000000; background: #FFF; border: solid 3px #4E1C80; border-radius: 30px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;\">\nSince amebiasis spreads via oral-fecal route and there are no vaccines or prophylactic medications to prevent amebiasis, you can reduce the chances of getting the infections by practicing good hygiene. Prevention of dysentery amoebiasis include:<br \/>\nGood hand hygiene: wash your hands with soap and running water after going to the bathroom, handling trash, and touching animals, also before handling or eating food<br \/>\nWash all fruit and vegetables with clean running water and peel them before eating them<br \/>\nAvoid undercooked fish or meats and thoroughly cook all food<br \/>\nDon\u2019t use water for consumption like drinking, brushing your teeth, or cooking if you\u2019re not sure whether it\u2019s sanitized or sterile<br \/>\nStay away from people who have dysentery for the risk of transmission<br \/>\nDo not share towels, toothbrush, cups, or other personal items especially with those who has dysentery\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"doctor\">\n<h1>\u76e3\u4fee\u3057\u305f\u533b\u5e2b<\/h1>\n<ul class=\"doctorbox\">\n<li class=\"doctorpart\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/\u30a2\u30bb\u30c3\u30c8-27@2x-8.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"name\">\n            \u5185\u79d1<br \/>Dr.Thoe,Isabella Roseline P.P.\n        <\/div>\n<p><!--        \n\n<ul class=\"detail\">\n            \n\n<li>\u8a3a\u5bdf\u66dc\u65e5\uff1a\u706b\u66dc\u65e5\u304b\u3089\u571f\u66dc\u65e5<\/li>\n\n\n            \n\n<li>\u8a3a\u5bdf\u6642\u9593\uff1a8:00~18:00<\/li>\n\n\n            \n\n<li>\u8a00\u8a9e\uff1a\u30a4\u30f3\u30c9\u30cd\u30b7\u30a2\u8a9e\u30fb\u82f1\u8a9e<\/li>\n\n\n        <\/ul>\n\n-->\n        <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"yoyaku\" id=\"reserve\">\n<div class=\"title\">For Reservations and Inquiries<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<div class=\"box\">\n<div class=\"text\"><span>\\<\/span>For After-Hours Matters, Please Click Here!<span>\/<\/span><\/div>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/message\/BL6BW4ALMJK7E1\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"line_btn\">\n            Make an appointment via Whatsapp\n        <\/div>\n<p>        <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"box\">\n<div class=\"text\"><span>\\<\/span>For Urgent Matters During Clinic Hours, Please Click Here!<span>\/<span><\/div>\n<p>        <a href=\"tel:+62 21 8665 6830\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"tel_btn\">\n            +62 21 8665 6830\n        <\/div>\n<p>        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"dim\">References:<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nReferences:<br \/>\nNasrallah J, Akhoundi M, Haouchine D, Marteau A, Mantelet S, Wind P, et al.
