The clinical presentation of amoebic colitis are diverse. Amoebiasis is comparatively rare in the U.K. and, unless the clinician is aware of the condition, wrong diagnosis often leads to delay in appropriate treatment resulting in high mortality. Diagnosis rests on clinical suspicion, stool examination, sigmoidoscopy with rectal biopsy and serological tests. Amoebiasis is readily treatable and death from it should be very rare.
阿米巴结肠炎的临床表现多种多样。阿米巴病在英国相对少见，除非临床医生了解这种疾病，否则错误的诊断常常导致延误恰当治疗，从而造成高死亡率。诊断依赖于临床怀疑、粪便检查、乙状结肠镜检查及直肠活检和血清学检测。阿米巴病很容易治疗，因该病死亡的情况应极为罕见。
