Description

Acute nondysenteric amebic enteritis is an intestinal infection caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, characterized by inflammation of the intestinal lining. This condition typically presents with symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping, but without the presence of dysentery, which involves blood and mucus in the stool.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be confused with dysenteric forms of amebic infections, so clarity is essential. It is important to use the formal term 'Enteritis amebic no dentadora aguda' in clinical settings to avoid misunderstandings. Colloquial terms may include 'infección por amebas', but these should be avoided in formal interpretations.
