S d l i l f METASTASIS f
DYSENTRY; AMOEBIC LIVER ABSCESS
• Secondary lesions occur as a result of METASTASIS of trophozoites to extraintestinal organs – liver is most frequently affected – Hepatic amoebiasis; pulmonaryfrequently affected – Hepatic amoebiasis; pulmonary amebiasis; cerebral ameobiasis; cutaneous amebiasis; spleenic abscess.p
• Symptoms: Diarrhea; dysentery – stool containing blood, mucous and shreds of necrotic mucosa, acute abdominal pain, tenderness and fever. Chronic ameobiasis – recurrent attacks of dysentery. Abd i l t d HEPATOMEGALY i ht lAbdominal tenderness, HEPATOMEGALY; weight loss and emaciation.

On ingestion – excyst into amoebulae – trophozoites which is the vegetativeamoebulae trophozoites which is the vegetativestage – invade the mucosa to absorb nourishment from tissues dissolved by its ycytolytic enzymes and also ingest RBCs.
• Pathology and Symptomatology: primary lesion is ULCER ‐ invasion of the wall of large intestine –ulcer is flask shaped. Complications – amoebic granuloma (amoeboma); appendicitis stricturegranuloma (amoeboma); appendicitis, stricture, intestinal perforation
