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.
Amoebic colitis. The E. histolytica parasite can cause inflammation of the lining of your gut (intestines). This condition is known as amoebic colitis. 'Colitis' is a general term used for inflammation of the lining of the large intestine (the colon). 'Amoebic' refers to the fact that the colitis is caused by the amoeba E. histolytica. The disease is often mild and can just lead to tummy (abdominal) pain and diarrhoea. However, more severe inflammation with ulceration of the intestinal lining can occur in some people and so-called 'amoebic dysentery' can develop.
