Description

Amoebic nondysenteric colitis is an intestinal condition caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, leading to inflammation of the colon without the presence of dysentery. It can result in abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal symptoms, but does not typically cause severe bloody stools.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be confused with amoebic dysentery, which presents more severe symptoms. It is important to maintain a formal register when discussing this diagnosis, as it is a clinical term. Avoid colloquial terms that may arise in casual conversations about gastrointestinal issues.

Example Sentences
