Abstract

The current study was conducted on patients with diabetes mellitus and those infected with Entamoeba histolytica who were attended to Al-karamah Teaching Hospital and some private laboratories in the city of Kut-Iraq for the period from August to September, 2023 at the ages ranging from 20-70 years. A total of 50 feces samples were collected; 30 male and 20 female. Only 15 samples (30%) were given positive results to E.histolytica; male 9 (18%) and female 6(12%). Samples were examined microscopically by direct smear then stained with iodine. The prevalence of E.histolytica infection in patients from urban areas was more than rural areas and in male more than female.
