PCR can be used to diagnose the parasite Entamoeba histolytica The parasite Entamoeba histolytica that generally attributes to<unk> es The diagnosis of Entamoeba histolytica in the<unk>  abscesses is difficult for several reasons. Firstly, the aerobic and anaerobic cultures generally provide negative results. In addition, the CT results are often inconclusive and even the parasitologic stool examinations and abdominal ultrasonography often yield normal results. However, direct examination of the abscess capsule may exhibit necrotic material, foamy histiocytes, rare eosinophills and ingested erythrocytes. Spheric structures may insinuate the presence of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites with Masson's trichrome stain. Additionally, PCR based analysis of the CSF can be used to positively identify the parasite in the system . Combination of CT scans and PCR based identification along with the serological methods are the current diagnostic measures for detecting Entamoeba histolytica.
