Isolated circulating immune complexes (CICs) from sera of patients with amoebiasis were characterized to determine Entamoeba histolytica antigens that participate in the disease process. In total, 116 serum samples were collected before starting anti-amoebic therapy, and their CICs were isolated by differential polyethylene glycol precipitation. The presence of amoeba-specific antigens in CICs ...

Despite its extreme potency against E-histolytica, metronidazole has to be taken for a relatively long penod (10 days) and hasvanous side effects including headache, metallic taste, nausea, dia...
