Blastocystis hominis in Hepatic Abscesses: Innocent Bystander or Hidden Culprit? A Case Report and Literature Review

2026-01-08

Abstract excerpt

Blastocystis hominis is a ubiquitous intestinal parasite commonly detected in human stools. Queries about the pathogenic nature of B. hominis in immunocompetent individuals have been raised with conflicting reports about the clinical significance of detecting the parasites in various specimens. Cases of invasive intestinal infections and identification of Blastocystis species in a splenic cyst and hepatic abscess...
