Symptoms of Amoebiasis – Prevention & Control

April 2nd 2009 21:02
Symptoms of amoebiasis vary according to the part of the body involved. Intestinal amoebiasis is the most common form. Acute amoebic dysentery involves blood and mucus in the stools, pain in the abdomen and a painful, recurrent urge to pass stools (tenesmus). The disease may evolve into a chronic phase with loss of appetite, pain in abdomen and intermittent constipation or diarrhea. Sometimes organisms travel to other organs of the body through the blood stream such as liver, lungs and brain. These forms are called as extra-intestinal amoebiasis.

Prevention and Control

1. Improvement of Sanitation: provision of safe drinking water and safe disposal of excreta.

2. Food hygiene: Involves protection of food and drink from faecal contamination
3. The disinfection of uncooked fruits and vegetables
4. People handling food in hotels and eateries.
5. Frequent hand washing with soap and water.
