Medical Conditions - Intestinal Amoebiasis

Intestinal amoebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the protozoa Entamoeba histolytica, the symptoms of which include loose stools, abdominal cramps, and abdominal pain. It can lead to fatal complications like abscess, infection, and death. People living in regions or places with poor sanitation, immunocompromised individuals, and homosexual males have an increased risk of developing this condition. A ten-day course of Metronidazole helps treat amoebiasis along with the surgical management of complications like intestinal perforations if needed.
