  • Amebic colitis is an acute disease caused by organism Entamoeba histolytica. This disease is diagnosed with clinical symptoms, laboratory studies, and endoscopy with biopsy.
    Now, we report the colonoscopic findings of amebic colitis. Colonoscopic findings are very variable.
    There are punctate ulcer, pseudomembrane, pseudopolyp, and hemorrhage. Between above mentioned findings, punctate ulcers are found in almost all patients, except in asymptomatic patients. The lesion of the colon is very friable. So, involved tissue is bleeding with touch.
