- Amoebic dysentery
- Non-dysenteric colitis
- amoebic appendicitis
- Amoebic liver abscess and hepatitis
- Splenic abscess
- Amoebiasis of skin
- Amoeboma of colon
- Encephalitis, sometimes.
A stool examination is by far the most common mode of diagnosing amoebiasis. The disease sometimes becomes very difficult to treat, and often prolongs to a chronic stage. Preventive measures are good. Thorough washing of raw eaten fruits and vegetables washes away the cysts. Washing fruits and raw eaten vegetables with diluted iodine, diluted acetic acid or full strength vinegar will destroy the cysts. Boiling drinking water destroys the cysts.
