In the latest episode of Bugs and Drugs, let’s dive into the microscopic world of Entamoeba histolytica. What is Entamoeba histolytica you ask? It is a parasitic infection that primarily affects the large intestine but can also travel to other organs like the liver. It can come from contaminated water and/or foods cooked with contaminated water.

The signs and symptoms to look for range from mild diarrhea to severe dysentery with abdominal pain and bloody stool. In order to diagnose, you’ll have to order a stool microscopy, antigen detection tests and PCR. The best way to treat Amoebiasis will depend on the severity of the infection, including antibiotics and antiparasitic medications. The best way is to prevent the infection in the first place with proper hygiene and safe water consumption.

Join Dr. Niket Sonpal as he dives into this common yet complex gut dweller, known as Entamoeba histolytica.
