Acute appendicitis secondary to amoebic infestation is a rare possibility, especially in endemic areas. If left untreated, significant postoperative morbidity and mortality can result from the spread of amoebic trophozoites and subsequent tissue reaction. Histopathological examination of the resected appendix with demonstration of invasion by the parasite is mandatory for establishing a diagnosis. Careful examination of the specimen is thus of paramount importance.
由阿米巴感染继发的急性阑尾炎是一种罕见的情况，尤其是在流行地区。如果不进行治疗，阿米巴滋养体的扩散及随后的组织反应可能导致严重的术后发病率和死亡率。切除的阑尾进行组织病理学检查并证明有寄生虫侵袭对于确诊至关重要。因此，仔细检查标本至关重要。
