Abstract
Malnutrition is an underlying factor in many diseases in both children and adults, it increases the incidence of infection including bloody diarrhea (parasite infection mostly Entamoeba histolytica) and potentiates the severity of the disease. Increased levels of gamma interferon from stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells and a mucosal IgA antilectin antibody response have been associated with protection from Entamoeba histolytica infection. Aim of study To study the incidence of amebiasis among patients with bloody diarrhea and malnutrition below 5 years of age and its correlation to serum level of gamma interferon
