Dientamoebiasis: clinical importance and recent advances.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Feb 2006

Stark Damien J, Beebe Nigel, Marriott Deborah, Ellis John T, Harkness John

Abstract excerpt

Dientamoeba fragilis, an unusual single-celled parasite that was described first in 1918, is found worldwide in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. D. fragilis has emerged from obscurity recently because it is now recognized as a common cause of chronic diarrhoea and is treatable with drugs. Recent molecular studies have described D. fragilis as having two genotypes. Diagnostic tests, based on conventional and...
