How dangerous is amoebiasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often no symptoms: Amebiasis causes illness in 10- 20% of those infected. It can lead to loose stool, cramps & abdominal pain. Severe form (dysentery) can lead to fever & bloody diarrhea. In rare cases it has seeded other parts of the body such as the brain or liver (where it can form an abscess).
