Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica is a well-recognized cause of infectious colitis and disseminated amebic abscesses. Most prevalent in the tropics and subtropics, E. histolytica infections may also occur in the developed world. We describe a case of a North American traveler with intestinal amebiasis, a diagnosis first made by colonic biopsy. We review the available diagnostic tools and the role of the surgical pathologist in the detection of this infection.Entities:
