resistant
formed stool
INFECTIVE STAGE
special characteristic of E. gingivalis
no cystic stage
habitat is not in large intestine
all amoeba are commensals except
E. histolytica
entamoeba which smaller than E. hitolytica
E. hartmanni
karyosome of E. histolytica
centrally/ bull’s eye
number of nuclei which consider as infective
4 (present in E. histolytica cyst
lfe cycle of E. histolytica
feces (mature cyst) > ingestion of food/water (mature cyst) > GIT > Small intestine (excystation) > Colon (trophozoite) > encystation
3-6x/day of diarrhea is diagnosed as what as what kind of amoebiasis
amoebic diarrhea
how often the diarrhea to consider acute amoebic dysentry
6-8x/day
extraintestinal amoebiasis occur in organs of:
cerebral (brain) cutaneous (dermal?) pulmonary (lungs) genital hepatic (liver)
