Entamoeba dispar: A Rare Case of Enteritis in a Patient Living in a Nonendemic Area

الملخص EN

Entamoeba dispar, a common noninvasive parasite, is indistinguishable in its cysts and trophozoite forms from Entamoeba histolytica, the cause of invasive amebiasis, by microscopy.

To differentiate the two species seems to be a problem for laboratory diagnosis.

Recent experimental studies showed that E.

dispar can be considered pathogenic too.

We present a rare case of enteritis due to E.

dispar.
