Protozoal hepatitis, also known as amoebic hepatitis, is a type of liver infection caused by a parasite called Entamoeba histolytica. The illness is predominantly found in regions with low sanitation standards and contaminated water sources. Symptoms of protozoal hepatitis often include abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, and diarrhea. Treatment usually involves antimicrobial medications such as metronidazole. Synonyms for protozoal hepatitis include amoebic liver abscess, amoebic colitis with liver abscess, and amebic dysentery with liver abscess. It is essential to seek immediate medical care if you suspect having protozoal hepatitis, as it can cause severe liver damage if left untreated.
