Endolimax nana is an intestinal protozoan that thrives in the colon and has also been reported in the appendix. Dobell demonstrated that this infection might last for many years. Trophozoites feed primarily on bacteria and it grows through division by binary fission. They are eight to ten micrometers in size and move with the help of pseudopodia, a...
The Endolimax nana cyst can lead to irritation of the crypts of the intestinal mucosa. In certain cases, it has been associated with diarrhea. This association is explained by Endolimax nana being an indicator of fecal contamination that is related to co-infection by other organisms that can cause diarrhea. In a number of cases, Endolimax nana was ...
Endolimax nana is diagnosed based on the microscopy of the cysts, involving concentration procedures (usually formalin-based) and different stains before the analysis is initiated. The cysts of Endolimax nana appear gibbous when the fecal concentrate is stained with iodine. The cysts are not always gibbous in appearance and are almost absent if the...
Endolimax nana is usually treated with 1. Metronidazole. 2. Diphetarsone. Based on different studies, Graczyk et al. recommended the following dosage of Metronidazolefor Endolimax nana infection treatment: 1. 250 milligrams thrice daily for ten days. Further, a study by Keystone et al. recommended the following dosage of Diphetarsone 1. 500 milligr...
Jan 1, 2016 · In this review, we seek to provide an overview of the work that has been performed on the parasite since the genus Endolimax was described by Kuenen and Swellengrebel in 1917 and suggest...
Jun 13, 2012 · Diagnosis of both B. hominis and E. nana infection can be made via stool sample testing for ova and parasites. Stool specimens are examined through light microscopy by direct wet mount, trichrome stains and formal-ethyl acetate concentration.

E. nana cyst stained with trichrome. Cysts of Endolimax nana are spherical to ellipsoidal in shape and measure 5 to 10 µm. Mature cysts possess four nuclei with large, karyosomes and no peripheral chromatin.
Endolimax nana. Endolimax nana ( Fig. 4-1) is the smallest of the intestine-dwelling amoebae infecting humans, its trophozoite averaging only 8 μm in diameter (range, 6-15 μm). The trophozoite lives in the host’s colon and is generally considered to be nonpathogenic. According to some surveys, prevalence may be as high as 30% in some ...
