What happens during the disease - chronic intestinal amoebiasis
Chronic intestinal amoebiasis is caused by the protozoan parasite entamoeba histolytica, which is spread through contaminated food and water. the parasite enters the body through the mouth and travels to the large intestine, where it attaches to the lining and begins to reproduce. as the infection progresses, the parasite can cause inflammation and ulceration of the intestinal wall, leading to abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and fever. in some cases, the infection can spread to other organs, leading to more serious complications.
