A patient with persistent abdominal cramps and diarrhea was found to be infected with Enteromonas hominis. A thorough search to detect coinciding infection with other pathogens was unrevealing. Treatment with metronidazole resulted in resolution of the patient's symptoms and eradication of E. hominis from the stool, suggesting E. hominis as the causal organism. Although this flagellate has been classified as a non-pathogen, this case suggests that it should be considered as an occasional pathogen.
一名患有持续性腹部绞痛和腹泻的患者被发现感染了人内滴虫。对是否同时感染其他病原体进行的全面检查未发现异常。甲硝唑治疗使患者症状缓解，粪便中人内滴虫被清除，提示人内滴虫为病原体。尽管这种鞭毛虫被归类为非病原体，但该病例表明它应被视为偶发病原体。
