Extract

Some years ago we recorded the occurrence of entamoebae in the stools of patients showing diarrhoea of obscure origin (1915). The symptoms of these patients were not suggestive clinically of acute, nor even of chronic, amoebic dysentery. The entamoebae from these cases proved, on inoculation into kittens, to be pathogenic, producing, however, only a chronic mucous diarrhoea without blood.
