Oct 6, 2022 · Cyst size and the number of its nuclei. Mature cysts of E. histolytica are smaller than those of Entamoeba coli and contain four nuclei, whereas E. coli cysts have eight nuclei. B. Antigen detection: detection of E.histolytica antigen in the stool. C. Serologic testing is useful for the diagnosis of invasive amebiasis.

Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar trophozoites stained with trichrome. Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar trophozoites have a single nucleus, which have a centrally placed karyosome and uniformly distributed peripheral chromatin. This typical appearance of the nucleus is not always observed as some trophozoites can have nuclei with an ...
Apr 17, 2023 · Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan that causes intestinal amebiasis as well as extraintestinal manifestations. Although 90 percent of E. histolytica infections are asymptomatic, nearly 50 million people become symptomatic, with about 100,000 deaths yearly.[1] Amebic infections are more prevalent in countries with lower socioeconomic conditions.[2]

Wet mount. Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar are morphologically identical species. In bright-field microscopy, E. histolytica/E. dispar cysts are spherical and usually measure 12 to 15 μm (range may be 10 to 20 μm). A mature cyst has 4 nuclei while an immature cyst may contain only 1 to 3 nuclei. Peripheral chromatin is fine ...

Cysts of Entamoeba coli are usually spherical but may be elongated and measure 10–35 µm. Mature cysts typically have 8 nuclei but may have as many as 16 or more. Entamoeba coli is the only Entamoeba species found in humans that has more than four nuclei in the cyst stage. The nuclei may be seen in unstained as well as stained specimens.
Figure 1. Life cycle of Entamoeba histolytica. 1 Cysts with 4 nuclei (i.e., metacysts) are ingested orally with contaminated food or drinking water ( A–C ). 2–4 After excysting in the small intestine, both the cytoplasm and nuclei divide to form 8 small amoebulae (i.e., metacystic trophozoites ). 5, 6 Mature trophozoites (i.e., minuta forms ...
