Ruptured Amoebic Liver Abscess With Empyema, Venous Thromboembolism and Bronchopleural Fistula: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Amoebiasis, a gastrointestinal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica, is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide among parasitic infections with over 100,000 deaths annually.

Reduced expression of a rhomboid protease, EhROM1, correlates with changes in the submembrane distribution and size of the Gal/GalNAc lectin subunits in the human protozoan parasite, Entamoeba histolytica.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Entamoeba histolytica is a food- and waterborne parasite that causes amebic dysentery and amoebic liver abscesses. Adhesion is one of the most important virulence functions as it facilitates motility, colonization of host, destruction of host tissue, and

Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single‐Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as ‘Non‐Pathogenic’

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

Antiprotozoal Activity of Highly Substituted Pyrazole and Pyrimidine Derivatives

ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 16, August 16, 2025.
Based on previously identified antimalarial agents, a series of highly substituted pyrazole and pyrimidines derivatives has been synthesized and tested for antiplasmodial and antileishmanial activity. Selected derivatives show promising antiplasmodial effect with a predicted favorable pharmacokinetic profile.
