TWO CASES OF RARELY RECOGNIZED INFECTION WITH ENTAMOEBA MOSHKOVSKII

We report two cases (a 36-year-old woman and 2-year-old girl) infected with Entamoeba moshkovskii in Turkey. Entamoeba moshkovskii was identified and distinguished from the morphologically identical parasites E. histolytica and E. dispar by a nested polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment...

Summary:We report two cases (a 36-year-old woman and 2-year-old girl) infected with Entamoeba moshkovskii in Turkey. Entamoeba moshkovskii was identified and distinguished from the morphologically identical parasites E. histolytica and E. dispar by a nested polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the small subunit ribosomal DNA gene.
