Coming soonAcute intestinal amebiasis is an invasive parasitic infection of the large intestine caused by the protozoan *Entamoeba histolytica*.
It primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract following the fecal-oral ingestion of viable cysts, with heightened prevalence among individuals in resource-limited regions or travelers returning from endemic areas.
Pathophysiologically, excysted trophozoites adhere to and invade the colonic mucosa, leading to epithelial cytotoxicity, tissue necrosis, and mucosal ulcerations.
Clinically, this acute phase manifests as amebic colitis characterized by cramping abdominal pain, tenesmus, fever, and severe diarrhea that frequently contains blood and mucus.
