Study Notes
Entamoeba histolytica Characteristics
- Entamoeba histolytica is a pathogenic intestinal amoeba.
- Trophozoite stage has a size range of 8-65 µm, with an average size of 12-25 µm.
- Trophozoite stage is characterized by progressive, fingerlike pseudopodia, one nucleus, and finely granular cytoplasm.
- Ingested red blood cells are present in the trophozoite stage.
- Nucleus has a small and central karyosome and fine, evenly distributed peripheral chromatin.
Entamoeba histolytica Cysts Characteristics
- Cysts have a size range of 8-22 µm, with an average size of 12-18 µm.
- Cysts are spherical to round in shape.
- Cysts have one to four nuclei, with a small and central karyosome, and fine, evenly distributed peripheral chromatin.
- Cysts have finely granular cytoplasm and chromatoid bars with rounded ends in young cysts.
- Young cysts have a diffuse glycogen mass.
