What is Amebiasis?

Amebiasis is an infection of the gastrointestinal tract caused by the parasitic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. This species is known for its ability to invade the intestinal mucosa and, in some cases, can spread to other organs, particularly the liver. It is important to note that there is also Entamoeba dispar, another amoeba similar to E. histolytica, which has recently been recognized as a non-invasive species.

Indications for use

The Entamoeba Rapid Test is indicated for:

• The diagnosis of amebiasis in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms.


• Monitoring at-risk patients, especially in geographic areas where amebiasis is endemic.


• Distinguishing between invasive and non-invasive infections, thanks to specific antigen detection.

Additional information

Amebiasis is more common in developing countries, where hygienic conditions can favor the spread of the parasite. Most asymptomatic infections are now attributed to Entamoeba dispar, but it is essential to promptly identify Entamoeba histolytica to prevent serious complications.
