Cyst: E. Histolytica 3-6 May amebiasis po pamangkin niyo. May parasite sa popo niya. *Amebiasis facts medical author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD Amebiasis is a disease caused by a parasite known as Entamoeba histolytica. Amebiasis is most common in people living in the tropics with poor sanitation. It can also be found in any setting where sanitation is poor. Men who have sex with men are also at increased risk for amebiasis. Loose stools, stomach pain, and cramping are the most common symptoms. Only about 10%-20% of those affected will show symptoms of amebiasis. A rare complication of amebiasis is the formation of a liver abscess when the parasite invades into the liver tissue. Diagnosis is established by examination of stool samples. E. histolytica infection can be treated successfully with antibiotics. Good sanitation practices can help prevent amebiasis.
