ABSTRACT
Amoebic colitis remains a diagnostic challenge on colonoscopy given that its features resemble that of inflammatory bowel disease. We describe a similar case of a 66 years old male patient with multiple comorbidities including morbid obesity, end-stage renal disease requiring haemodialysis, IHD with PCI, T2DM, HTN and new onset dry cough for which he received a short course of steroids. He presented to the colorectal clinic with bleeding and mucus discharge per-rectum with no other symptoms related to bowel and non-specific colonoscopy findings with amoebic colitis only confirmed on histological diagnosis. The patient was commenced on a course of Metronidazole and followed up on first and sixth month after treatment where he remained well and reported no further symptoms.
