Gloassary term:

Entamoeba histolytica

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite that causes amoebic dysentery and can lead to severe intestinal and extraintestinal complications, including liver abscesses. It is transmitted through contaminated food and water, making it a significant concern in areas with poor sanitation. Clinically, it is crucial to differentiate between asymptomatic carriers and those with symptomatic disease to guide appropriate treatment and prevent outbreaks.
