A06.9: Amoebiasis, unspecified

Amebae are pathogens that occur especially in the Earth’s warm regions. You can be infected with amebae via contaminated foods or drinks. If you are infected, the symptoms usually only occur after several days. Amebae often cause inflammation of the intestines. They can then cause diarrhea.

The amebae can cause inflammation in other areas of the body. The symptoms depend on which area is affected.
