Recent advances in the diagnosis and management of amoebiasis

The authors aim to address the challenges in diagnosing and managing amoebiasis, particularly in the context of increasing international travel and migration, which has led to its wider presentation outside specialist settings. They review the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment options for both intestinal and extraintestinal amoebiasis, highlighting the risks of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. This article serves as a resource for gastroenterologists, surgeons, and acute physicians to improve awareness and management of this potentially life-threatening condition.
