NARRATIVE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Amoebiasis is a type of gastroenteritis caused by parasite Entamoeba Histolytica which infects the bowel. It can affect anyone, however, the disease mostly occurs in young to middle aged adult and generally associated with people living in areas of poor sanitation and is a common cause of diarrhea among travelers to developing countries. When a person ingest a food contaminated with bacteria, multiplication in mucosa will follow. The endotoxin production will affect the lining of the small intestines, colon and capillary which may cause pain because of the bacterias envasion on the stomach. Necrosis of mucosal layer will follow and then ulceration. These bacteria will remain inside the body, medication is given to control the spread of the bacteria not to totally treat the disease. If its not treated immediately it can cause abcess to different organs of the body and the treatment for this is surgery. If amoebiasis is not controlled it may lead to abcess in the liver, lungs, spleen and brain. Gangrene will be present that may lead to toxemia and if gets worst it may be fatal.
