Amebiasis (Amebic Dysentery)

Amebic Dysentery Causal agent: Entamoeba histolytica is well recognized as a pathogenic amoeba. History: Loosh was first described in 1875 Geographic Distribution: Worldwide, with higher incidence of amebiasis in developing countries.  In industrialized countries, risk groups include male homosexuals, travelers and recent immigrants, and institutionalized populations.

Morphology Different form of E. histolytica; a- trophozoite b- precyst c- cyst(1, 2, 4 nuclei)

Entamoeba histolytica trophozoite

Entamoeba histolytica immature cyst

Entamoeba histolytica mature cyst

Life cycle of E. histolytica

Transmission 1-driect contact of person to person( fecal-oral) 2- Veneral transmission among homosexual males 3- Food or drink contaminated with feces containing the E.his. cyst 4- Use of human feces for soil fertilizer 5- contamination of foodstuffs by flies, and possibly cockroaches

Pathogenesis Depends on: Parasite virulence. Host resistance. Condition of the intestinal tract. Pathogenic agent: trophozoites invade intestinal mucosa. Trophozoites produce histolytic enzyme that produce necrosis of mucosa leading to the formation of flask-shaped ulcer.

Pathogenesis & Complications

flask-shaped ulcer

This is followed by: Proliferation of connective tissue. Brain abscess Proliferation of connective tissue. Intensive ulcerations. Extra-intestinal invasion to brain, liver, lung or skin. Lung abscess Skin abscess Liver abscess (common) Blood vessel

Diagnosis (Intestinal amoebiasis) Clinically: Dysentery: painful frequent evacuation of small quantities of stool containing mucus tinged with blood. Laboratory: 1- Direct stool examination: Trophozoites are found in diarrhoeic stool. Cysts are found in formed stool. - Wet preparation. - Iodine stained. - Permanent stain with iron haematoxylin or trichrome. 2- Concentration techniques for cysts.

Serological tests in chronic amoebiasis. 3- Indirect diagnosis: Serological tests in chronic amoebiasis. Detection of copro-antigen using monoclonal antibodies. Molecular techniques. Radiological examination: using barium enema. wash wash wash Coating the well with MAb and add patient’s stool to detect Entamoeba Ag

Treatment of Amoebic abscesses by aspiration or open surgical drainage Metronidazole, Tinidazole. Very effective in killing amoebas in the wall of the intestine, in blood and in liver abscesses. Diluxanide furoate. kills trophozoites and cysts in the lumen of the intestine. Tissue amoebicide Luminal amoebicide Treatment of Amoebic abscesses by aspiration or open surgical drainage

Treatment of Amoebic abscesses by aspiration or open surgical drainage Surgical drainage of abscess Thick chocolate-coloured or pus with trophozoites Aspiration of abscess

Epidemiology Control Cyst passers are the main source of infection. Cysts remain viable in faeces for few days, in water for longer periods. Cysts are killed by dryness, heat (over 55ºC) and by chlorine. Control Treatment of patients. Examination and treatment of food handlers. Environmental sanitation. Personal prophylaxis. Human faeces should not be used as fertilizers.
