What is "amoebic dysentery"?

Amoebic dysentery is an infection caused by a parasite called Entamoeba histolytica. It spreads through contaminated food or water, particularly in areas with poor hygiene. Symptoms of amoebic dysentery may include severe diarrhea with blood or mucus, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever. In some cases, the infection can spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver, causing more serious complications. Treatment for amoebic dysentery usually involves antibiotics to kill the parasite and medications to relieve symptoms such as diarrhea and pain. It is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and to avoid spreading the infection to others by practicing good hygiene.
