A case of amebic colitis: A potentially fatal mimicker of inflammatory bowel disease. [PDF]

JPGN Rep
ABSTRACT Amebiasis, caused by Entamoeba histolytica, can present diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical manifestations and potential for misdiagnosis, particularly in regions with low incidence rates. We report a case of a 9‐year‐old girl initially diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease but later confirmed to have amebic colitis.

Amoebic Liver Abscesses in Returning Travelers: Lessons to Keep in Mind From a Nonendemic Area. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Despite being relatively common in endemic settings, amoebic liver abscesses are rarely diagnosed in high‐resource countries, where they are usually imported by migrants or travelers to endemic areas. Between 2010 and 2024, we observed two cases of amoebic liver abscess that were successfully managed in a tertiary‐care center in Italy.

Management of a Pregnant Woman With Malaria, Stillbirth, and a 12 × 11-cm Amoebic Liver Abscess in a Burundian Hospital: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Obstet Gynecol
Background: Malaria and amoebic infections are considered risk factors for stillbirth and preterm labor, but their coexistence during pregnancy has not been previously reported. Case: We describe the first case of averted maternal mortality with fetal death in utero at 22 weeks’ gestation, complicated by both falciparum malaria and hepatic amoebic ...

Inhibition of Amebic Lysosomal Acidification Blocks Amebic Trogocytosis and Cell Killing

mBio, 2017
Entamoeba histolytica ingests fragments of live host cells in a nibbling-like process termed amebic trogocytosis. Amebic trogocytosis is required for cell killing and contributes to tissue invasion, which is a hallmark of invasive amebic colitis.

Chemical Characterization of Corydalis chaerophylla D.C. Extracts and Preliminary Evaluation of Their in Vitro and in Vivo Biological Properties

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 20, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Genus Corydalis is a rich source of isoquinoline alkaloids reported to having potential bioactivities. Corydalis chaerophylla collected from Nepal at an altitude of 2400–4800 m was extracted using hexane, methanol and chloroform as solvents. The resulting hexane, methanol and chloroform extracts were subjected to LC–DAD‐MSn analysis to yield ...

Chronic Diarrhea Caused by Amebic Colitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease [PDF]

, 2007
The diagnosis of intestinal amebiasis is easily established based on colonoscopy, i.e. there is a specific characteristic of ulcer/lesion “discrete flask-shape ulcer” with normal mucosa among the ulcers.
