Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal system that affects organs and systems. Most common complaint in ulcerative colitis is bloody mucous diarrhea. Amebiasis is also a disease that presents with bloody mucous diarrhea caused by E. histolytica. Therefore it needs to be differentiated from ulcerative colitis. Moreover amebiasis and inflammatory bowel disease are known to exist together. An adolescent patient who was initially diagnosed as amebiasis due to recurrent bloody mucous diarrhea and stool analysis results and which was later diagnosed as ulcerative colitis, was presented. It was thought that in adolescents who were diagnosed as amebiasis with chronic symptoms, diagnostic information may be obtained by evaluation with colonoscopic and histopathological examination, keeping in mind the coexistence of ulcerative colitis.

Histolytica'nın neden olduğu amibiazis de kanlı mukuslu diareyle birlikte olup ayırıcı tanıda önem taşır. Her iki tablo da bir arada olabilir. Bu yazıda her iki hastalığın bir arada olduğu rekurren kanlı mukuslu diareyle klinik veren hasta sunulmaktadır. Kronik semptomları olan adölesan hastalarda amibiazis yanında ülseratif kolit de olabileceğini göz önüne alıp kolonoskopi ve histopatolojik inceleme yapılması unutulmamalıdır.
