Entamoeba Histolytica
Case description
Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites are able to degrade
human erythrocytes, Traditionally, erythrophagocytosis
has been the main laboratory criterion to identify
pathogenic amebas.
One of the fundamental questions of the biology of
Entamoeba histolytica directly related to the
understanding of human amebiasis concerns the nature of
the factors that determine the virulence of the parasite.
The initiation of invasive amebiasis may result from the
rupture of a host-parasite equilibrium that is maintained
while E. histolytica is restricted to a commensal phase.
