Amebiasis: aspectos clínicos, terapéuticos y de diagnóstico de la infección

Abstract: 609artículos de revisión L a amebiasis se considera como una causa importante de morbilidad y mortalidad en el mundo y constituye dentro de las enfermedades de origen parasitario, especialmente en el mundo en desarrollo, la tercera causa de muerte después de la malaria y la esquistosomiosis 1,2 . El reconocimiento de Entamoeba dispar y Entamoeba moshkovskii en humanos ha complicado más el diagnóstico de E. histolytica.

“…Most infections with E. histolytica are asymptomatic, and infected individuals become parasite carriers (2). However, some individuals may develop a severe disease with hemorrhagic colitis and extra-intestinal disease (11). An important number of travelers suffering from prolonged diarrhea were infected with E. histolytica (12, 13).…”

“…Furthermore, E. histolytica is responsible for the development of life-threatening abscesses in organs including liver, brain (14, 15) and lungs (16). Diagnosis of E. histolytica infection is based on a combination of serological tests with antigen detection by immunoassays or detection of parasite DNA by polymerase chain reaction (11). …”

The parasite colonizes in the mucosal layer Gastro Intestinal Tract (GIT) with preferability too, leading to lysis, corrosion and bleeding [4].
