Abstract 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.
