Case report reveals severe extraintestinal infection from Entamoeba moshkovskii, highlighting potential risks.
Entamoeba moshkovskii is historically considered nonpathogenic. We report a case of severe extraintestinal infection in a patient from eastern India who had abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, anemia, and a splenic abscess. Molecular analysis confirmed E. moshkovskii as the causative agent. This case highlights this parasite's potential to cause severe illness.
