intestinal amebiasis

Intestinal amebiasis is an infection caused by a parasite called Entamoeba histolytica, which affects the large intestine. It spreads through contaminated food or water and can cause symptoms like diarrhea—sometimes bloody—crone pain, and fever. In mild cases, people may have no symptoms, but in more severe cases, the infection can lead to ulcers or abscesses in the colon, and rare complications can involve other organs like the liver. Treatment involves specific medications to eliminate the parasite, and good hygiene practices can help prevent infection.
