Short communication: Misleading microscopy in amoebiasis

29 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

High prevalences of intestinal amoebiasis are commonly reported by microscopy in Ethiopia. In order to confirm the actual occurrence of Entamoeba histolytica we collected 108 stool specimens from different hospitals & health centers from patients in whom haematophagous trophozoites were believed to be found. We detected only a single E. histolytica case while 77 (71.3%) were E. dispar and the remaining 30 samples...
