	txt001wpc: Molecular-based diagnosis of Entamoeba histolytica infection
		Typically, bacterial dysentery occurs suddenly, whereas amoebic dysentery occurs gradually, with symptoms [such as abdominal pain and tenderness, painful sudden bowel evacuation (tenesmus), and diarrhoea] developing over a period of one to several weeks (Ref. 12).
		An amoebic liver abscess might be mistakenly diagnosed as a bacterial abscess, necrotic hepatoma (a type of liver neoplasm) or echinococcal cyst (a type of helminth infection of the liver; typically, an echinococcal cyst would be an incidental finding detected by imaging of the liver and unrelated to any abdominal symptoms).
		When an amoebic liver abscess is suspected, the aspiration of abscess fluid for diagnostic purposes should generally be avoided, because it carries the risk of spillage of pus into the peritoneal cavity and bacterial super-infection of the liver abscess.
