Could fever and watery stools in a baby be due to amoebiasis?
Patient: my baby has been having on and off fever for 5 days until now and keeps pooping all the time. Hes poop is always watery. Got him tested for fecalysis, the results were Redcells:0-3hpf, pus cells:5-7hpf no ova nor parasite seen,fat globules:rare. I called my doctor to tell him the result and he said it might be amoebiasis and needs to be tested again.i needed a secnd opinion, pls help me on this thanks Doctor: Hi,  You may try to repeat the stool analysis again and you may give your child streptoquin or antinal syrup to make the stool solid.  Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Salah Saad Shoman, Internal Medicine Specialist
