Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence and Prevalence

  • Amoebiasis is the second leading cause of death worldwide from parasitic disease.Leber, Amy L., and Susan Novak-Weekley. "Intestinal and urogenital amebae, flagellates, and ciliates." Manual of Clinical Microbiology, 10th Edition. American Society of Microbiology, 2011. 2149-2171.[1][2][2]
  • 500 million people are infected with Entamoeba histolytica every year.
  • 50 million individuals develop liver abscess and colitis and results in death in 40,000-100,000 individuals anually.
  • Of all cases of amoebiasis, 3% to 9% of patients reported to have amoebic liver abscess.

Age

  • Amoebic liver abscess most commonly occurs in 20 to 45 years age.

Gender

  • Amoebic liver abscess is more common among men compared to women.[3]

Developed and Developing Countries

  • Entamoeba histolytica infection is more common in tropical and sub tropical areas.Leber, Amy L., and Susan Novak-Weekley. "Intestinal and urogenital amebae, flagellates, and ciliates." Manual of Clinical Microbiology, 10th Edition. American Society of Microbiology, 2011. 2149-2171.
  • Infection rates are higher in temperate regions with poor sanitation.
  • In the United States most cases of amoebiasis occur in immigrants from endemic areas and HIV infected patients.[4]
  • Amoebic liver abscess is the most common extra intestinal manifestation of Entamoeba histolytica infection. It is endemic in the following countries[5]
  • Mexico
  • The Indian subcontinent
  • Indonesia
  • Sub saharan and tropical regions of Africa
  • Parts of central and south America
