Key Points

  • This study aims to highlight the clinical presentation and outcomes of intestinal amoebiasis, focusing on colonic ulceration.
  • Two clinical cases of intestinal amoebiasis were analyzed, one asymptomatic and the other presenting with diarrhea and a hepatic abscess.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through stool microbiological tests, serology, and intestinal biopsies.
  • Treatment involved metronidazole or tinidazole, followed by a luminal amoebicide.
  • The first patient was asymptomatic, with incidental colonic ulcers found during colonoscopy.
  • The second patient experienced diarrhea and a hepatic abscess, with both presenting colonic ulcers.
  • Both patients experienced a favorable clinical outcome following treatment.
