How is amoebiasis diagnosed?

Question:

How is amoebiasis diagnosed?

Answer:

Doctors don’t just guess - they run a few tests to confirm it’s amoebiasis.

Diagnosis Methods

  • Stool examination: The most common method; cysts or parasites are checked under a microscope.
  • Blood test: Helps spot if there’s an infection or if the liver is involved.
  • Ultrasound or CT scan: If doctors suspect liver abscess.
  • Physical check-up: Your symptoms and travel/food history also guide diagnosis.
