The clinical, histopathological, and serological features of 35 homosexual men with infection with Entamoeba histolytica were studied and compared with a group of 35 non-infected homosexual men. Each isolate was of Zymodeme type I. Although there was no significant difference in the numbers of infected and non-infected men with gastrointestinal symptoms (48.6% and 28.6% respectively), the mean duration of symptoms was greater in with amoebiasis (p less than 0.05). The histology of the rectal mucosa was abnormal in 17 (63.0%) of the 27 men with amoebic infection only and in two (7.4%) of the 27 control subjects (p less than 0.001). Serum antibodies reactive with E. histolytica were not shown in any patient.
对35名感染溶组织内阿米巴的同性恋男性的临床、组织病理学和血清学特征进行了研究,并与35名未感染的同性恋男性组进行了比较。每个分离株均为酶谱I型。虽然有胃肠道症状的感染和未感染男性数量没有显著差异(分别为48.6%和28.6%),但阿米巴病患者的平均症状持续时间更长(p小于0.05)。仅患有阿米巴感染的27名男性中,17名(63.0%)直肠黏膜组织学异常,而27名对照受试者中有2名(7.4%)异常(p小于0.001)。所有患者均未显示与溶组织内阿米巴反应的血清抗体。
