Definition. Amoebic dysentery is caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Invasive intestinal parasitic infection can result in symptoms of fulminant dysentery, such as fever, chills, bloody or mucous diarrhoea, and abdominal discomfort.The dysentery can alternate with periods of constipation or remission.ulminant amoebic dysentery is reported to have 55% to 88% mortality. It is estimated that more than 500 million people are infected with E histolytica worldwide. Between 40,000 and 100,000 will die each year, placing this infection second to malaria in mortality caused by protozoan parasites.
Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite responsible for a disease called amoebiasis. It occurs usually in the large intestine and causes internal inflammation as its name suggests (histo = tissue, lytic = destroying).ost Entamoeba histolytica infections are asymptomatic and trophozoites remain in the intestinal lumen feeding on surrounding nutrients. About 10â20 % of the infections develop into amoebiasis which causes 70 000 deaths each year.
