- Presence of red blood cells within the cytoplasm of trophozoites is a diagnostic feature for the identification of E. histolytica. Ingested RBCs are not fre-quently seen; in the absence of this diagnostic characteristic E. histolytica/E. dispar should be reported. Cysts usually measure 12 to 15 μm (range 10 to 20 μm) and have 1 to 4 nuclei.
