  • Title: [Phagocytosis of human erythrocytes by Entamoeba histolytica. Quantitative study].
    Author: Trissl D, Martinez-Palomo A, de la Torre M, de la Hoz R, Perez de Suárez E.
    Journal: Arch Invest Med (Mex); 1978; 9 Suppl 1():219-22. PubMed ID: 211953.
    Abstract:
    The degree of eythrophagocytosis of two recently isolated strains of E. histolytica was measured by microscopic examination. Amebas isolated from a patient with amebic rectocolitis (strain HM22:IMSS, monoxenic) ingested human red blood cells faster and in larger numbers than trophozoites isolated from an asymptomatic carrier (HM27:IMSS, monoxenic). The results suggest that an increased rate of phagocytosis could be one of the surface properties characteristic of the invasive strains of E. histolytica.
