    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Tropical Diseases
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Amoebiasis is a parasitic infection with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • Global travel increases the risk of infectious disease transmission across borders.
    • Surgeons must be aware of prevalent diseases in different regions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a series of amoebiasis cases in Seychelles.
    • To highlight the varied symptomatology of amoebiasis in this region.
    • To emphasize diagnostic approaches for amoebiasis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Clinical feature identification.
    • Diagnostic value of therapeutic trials.
