This case was rather unusual with regard to the disease presentation. The patient had non-specific symptoms of weight loss and general malaise, without any history of preceding diarrhoea or dysentery. It is important to be aware of the epidemiology of the disease, and to relate it to patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of amoebiasis. We discuss the recommended investigations and management options for these patients based on the current guidelines/evidence.
就疾病表现而言,该病例相当不寻常。患者有体重减轻和全身不适等非特异性症状,既往无腹泻或痢疾病史。了解该疾病的流行病学情况,并将其与出现阿米巴病疑似症状的患者联系起来,这一点很重要。我们根据当前指南/证据讨论了针对这些患者的推荐检查和管理方案。
