La amebiasis (disentería amebiana) es una infección parasitaria del intestino grueso y, a veces, del hígado. Más común en países en vías de desarrollo, el parásito se propaga por medio de moscas, cucarachas y contacto directo con manos, comida o agua potable contaminadas con heces de una persona infectada.
A veces no hay síntomas. Si de hecho aparecen síntomas, estos pueden incluir:
Para diagnosticar la amebiasis, un médico hará análisis de laboratorio de una muestra fecal. El tratamiento puede incluir medicamentos, reposición de líquidos, descanso, una dieta de alimentos blandos, y educación sobre la importancia de lavarse las manos con frecuencia y otras medidas preventivas.
