• W3143586263 abstract "Entamoeba histolytica is the only pathogenic species of the Entamoeba genus and is morphologically identical to E. dispar/E. moshkovskii (Entamoeba complex) hence cannot be microscopically differentiated. The other Entamoeba spp. found in humans (E. hartmanni, E. polecki, and E. coli) can be differentiated morphologically from this Entamoeba complex. However, some of their morphologic features overlap making differential diagnosis difficult. This study aimed at determining the occurrence of Entamoeba spp. in patients seeking treatment for diarrhea and/or abdominal discomfort at two clinics in Mukuru informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya. Faecal samples were collected from 895 patients, examined microscopically following direct wet smear and formal-ether concentration methods. Entamoeba spp. positive faecal samples were subjected to DNA extraction and species-specific nested polymerase chain reaction of the 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA). By microscopy, Entamoeba spp. cysts or trophozoites were detected in 114/895 (12.7%, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 10.6–15.1) faecal samples. By nested PCR, the prevalence was: E. histolytica (7.5%, 95% CI 5.9–9.4, 67/895) and E. dispar (8.2%, 95% CI 6.5–10.2, 73/895). Among the Entamoeba spp. complex positive samples, nested PCR detected E. coli and E. hartmanni DNA in 63/114 (55.3%) and 37/114 (32.5%), samples respectively. Among the E. histolytica/E. dispar PCR negative samples (32.5%), 21 (18.4%) contained cysts of either E. coli (19) or E. hartmanni (2) by nested PCR. Entamoeba spp. infections were most common among participants aged 21–30 years; however it was not significant (P = 0.7). Entamoeba spp. infections showed an inverse relationship with diarrhea being most common among participants without diarrhea (P = 0.0). The difference was significant for E. histolytica (P = 0.0) but not significant for E. dispar (P = 0.1). Only E. dispar infections were significantly associated with sex (P = 0.0). This study highlights the need for differentiation of E. histolytica from other Entamoeba spp. by molecular tools for better management of amoebiasis." @default.
