If ignored, amoebiasis can turn serious. The parasite doesn’t just stop at the intestine; it can travel to other organs.

Complications

• Liver abscess: Parasite spreads to the liver, causing pus-filled swelling.
• Intestinal perforation: Holes in the intestine - internal bleeding and infection.
• Chronic infection: Long-term weakness, weight loss, and repeated diarrhea.
• Spread to other organs: Rare but possible.
