Diagnosis of Amebic Liver Abscess and Amebic Colitis by Detection of Entamoeba histolytica DNA in Blood, Urine, and Saliva by a Real-Time PCR Assay
Rashidul Haque,Mamun Kabir,Zannatun Noor,S. M. Mazidur Rahman,Dinesh Mondal,Faisal Alam,Intekhab Rahman,Abdullh Al Mahmood,Nooruddin Ahmed,William A. Petri +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the detection of E. histolytica DNA in saliva and urine could be used as a diagnostic tool for amebic liver abscess.

Carol A. Gilchrist,Ibne Karim M. Ali,Mamun Kabir,Faisal Alam,Sana Scherbakova,Eric Ferlanti,Gareth D. Weedall,Neil Hall,Rashidul Haque,William A. Petri,Elisabet Caler +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there are genetic differences between virulent and avirulent E. histolytica strains and that this approach has the potential to define genetic changes that influence infection outcomes.

Amebic liver abscess in northern region of Bangladesh: sociodemographic determinants and clinical outcomes
TL;DR: Rural habitat, ethnicity (Aborigine) and habit of indigenous alcohol consumption were found to be strong determinants, especially for complicated ALA, which were associated with different grades of morbidity and a few mortalities.
Evidence for a link between locus R-R sequence type and outcome of infection with Entamoeba histolytica.
TL;DR: This is the first report that identifies markers that may predict disease outcomes in E. histolytica infection using sequence types of a non-coding tRNA-linked locus R-R to identify surrogate markers that show association with infection outcomes.
