Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Amoebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica occurring in populations with low socio-economic status and is transmitted by faeco-oral route. It mainly involves the intestine and liver and presents as acute abdomen and loose stools. A 73 years old female presented with pain in abdomen and loose stools since 2 days. Radiological investigations revealed inflammation of the appendix and thickening of the colonic wall and clinical presentation prompted emergency surgical intervention with a suspicion of Crohn's disease clinically and a postoperative diagnosis of amoebic colitis was made on histopathology.
