The pathogenic nature of E. histolytica was first reported by Fedor A. Lösch in 1875, [1] but it was not given its Latin name until Fritz Schaudinn described it in 1903. E. histolytica, as its name suggests (histo–lytic = tissue destroying), is pathogenic; infection can be asymptomatic, or it can lead to amoebic dysentery or amoebic liver ...
The two most common manifestations of E histolytica include colitis (bloody stool with mucus, abdominal pain, and/or diarrhea), and discovery of a liver abscess on imaging. [2] Liver abscesses commonly present as right upper quadrant abdominal pain and fever, with worsening features associated with abscess rupture.
Chromatoidal bodies are aggregations of ribosomes found in cysts of some amoebae including Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba coli. They exist in the cytoplasm and are dark staining. In the early cystic stages of E. histolytica, chromatid bodies arise from aggregation of ribosomes forming polycrystalline masses. As the cyst matures, the masses ...
In 2004 El Hamshary and Arafa found that salivary anti-E. histolytica IgA concentration had "predictive diagnostic value of intestinal amoebiasis…as well as in tissue amoebiasis." [61] A 1990 study that involved saliva testing for E. histolytica in 223 school children demonstrated a sensitivity and specificity of 85% and 98%, respectively. [62]
Amoebic brain abscess is an affliction caused by the anaerobic parasitic protist Entamoeba histolytica.It is extremely rare; the first case being reported in 1849. [2] Brain abscesses resulting from Entamoeba histolytica are difficult to diagnose and very few case reports suggest complete recovery even after the administration of appropriate treatment regimen.

E. histolytica cysts have a maximum of four nuclei, while the commensal Entamoeba coli cyst has up to 8 nuclei. Additionally, in E. histolytica, the endosome is centrally located in the nucleus, while it is usually off-center in Entamoeba coli. Finally, chromatoidal bodies in E. histolytica cysts are rounded, while they are jagged in Entamoeba ...
