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...
