In January 1989--December 1991 period we verified 35 cases of symptomatic intestinal amebiasis in Antofagasta, the main city of the North of Chile. Out of the total number of studied patients 23 were adults (77.1% males and 22.9% females) and all of them were permanent residents of Antofagasta. E.histolytica was frequently detected in association with other parasites and/or commensals, and observed alone in only seven cases. The clinical and epidemiological aspects of these 35 cases are discussed.
在1989年1月至1991年12月期间,我们在智利北部主要城市安托法加斯塔核实了35例有症状的肠道阿米巴病病例。在所有研究患者中,23例为成年人(男性占77.1%,女性占22.9%),他们均为安托法加斯塔的常住居民。溶组织内阿米巴常与其他寄生虫和/或共生菌一起被检测到,仅在7例中单独观察到。本文讨论了这35例病例的临床和流行病学情况。
