  • Title: [Diagnostic certainty in intestinal amebiasis in Managua].
    Author: López Cruz S, Salazar L, Urroz L, Anderson M.
    Journal: Rev Cubana Med Trop; 1991; 43(2):80-4. PubMed ID: 1725928.
    Abstract:
    Three surveys were carried out in Managua. Nicaragua. In the first one it was found that 71% of the intestinal amebiasis cases of obligatory notification had no comparable diagnostic foundations; in the second one, 11.7% of the laboratory diagnoses as Entamoeba histolytica referred by 4 health centers were correct; and in the third one, it was obvious that only 9.4% of the doctors knew well what intestinal amebiasis is. The results suggest that intestinal amebiasis is being diagnosed excessively in Managua.
