A member asked:
How do you tell if you have invasive amebiasis infection or one that can be cured with paromomycin alone? is blood or pus in stool always required? ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amoebiasis: Invasive disease is extraintestinal and usually involves at least the liver, and many other organ systems may be involved, including heart, lungs, brain. You will usually be symptomatic when this occurs. Intestinal amoebiasis can usually be discerned on microscopic exam of stool specimens to check for efficacy of therapy.
