Description

Amoebiasis is an intestinal infection caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. It can lead to severe dysentery and other gastrointestinal complications if left untreated.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters may encounter variations such as 'amebiasis intestinal' or 'disentería amebiana', but it is crucial to use the standard term 'amebiasis' in formal contexts. Be aware of potential confusion with other gastrointestinal infections that have similar symptoms.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing amebiasis with bacterial dysentery; mispronouncing 'amebiasis' as 'amebiasis'; mixing up Entamoeba histolytica with other protozoan infections.
