Treatment and Diagnosis

The diagnosis of dysentery itself, is made by observation of samples from three different days of feces under an optical microscope. However more than 90% of individuals with systemic complications may have already solved the intestinal infection, so the diagnosis by faecal analysis may be inconclusive. In these cases the image of the liver by computed tomography, detection of parasite DNA by PCR or serology with detection of specific antibodies may be required.

Is used in the treatment metronidazole, iodoquinol, paromomycin or diloxanida furoate, and in some cases dehydroemetina. The advanced hepatic abscesses may require surgery.
