Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Amebiasis is a parasitic infection often associated with international travel.
  • Anemia can be a presenting symptom of amebic infections.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old individual in Louisiana presented with amebic anemia.
  • The patient had no history of foreign travel.

Findings:

  • This case demonstrates amebic anemia can occur in non-travelers.
  • Entamoeba histolytica infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of anemia.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of amebiasis in non-travelers is needed for timely diagnosis.
  • Clinicians should consider amebiasis in the differential diagnosis of anemia, especially in endemic regions.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering local transmission of parasitic infections.
