Pathogenicity of Entamoeba Histolytica
The pathogenicity of Entamoeba histolytica is discussed from an immunologic point of view. The evidence that there is some “trigger” mechanism that converts a commensal dwelling organism into a tissue invasive pathogen is rejected as inadequate.
The number of liver abscess cases in comparison with the number of intestinal amebic infections in a population is so low that this in itself suggests that a tissue invasion is a rare event in the life history of the ameba.
