Amoebiasis, caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, is the second leading cause of death among all parasitic diseases. It primarily affects individuals living in tropical regions and impacts nearly 50 million people worldwide, resulting in approximately 1,00,000 deaths yearly.
What is Amoebiasis?
Amoebiasis occurs when the parasites or their eggs (cysts) are taken in by mouth. People with amoebiasis have Entamoeba histolytica protozoan parasites in their faeces. The infection can spread when infected people do not dispose of their faeces in a sanitary manner or do not wash their hands properly after going to the toilet.
Contaminated hands can then spread the parasites to food that may be eaten by other people and surfaces that may be touched by other people. Hands can also become contaminated when changing the nappies of an infected infant.
Amoebiasis can be grouped into three categories based on severity:
- Acute amoebiasis can result in frequent and often bloody stools.
- Chronic amoebiasis can give rise to gastrointestinal symptoms accompanied by fatigue, weight loss and occasional fever.
- Extraintestinal amoebiasis may occur if the parasite happens to spread to other organs, most commonly the liver. This might lead to an amoebic liver abscess, characterized by fever and right upper quadrant abdominal pain.
