PRESENTED BY: PRINCESS ALEN AGUILAR
Iodamoeba butschliiGEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: CosmopolitanPATHOGENESIS: Generally considered as non-
pathogenic amoeba.◦ THUS TREATMENT IS NONE
HABITAT: Large intestines.RESERVOIR HOST: Pigs. INFECTED FORM: Mature, uninucleated cyst.MODE OF INFECTION: Ingestion
(contaminated food or water)LABORATORY IDENTIFICATION:
cyst/trophozoite◦ Definitive diagnosis can only be made with the
iron hematoxylin or trichrome stained preparation
SPECIMEN SOURCE: Feces
Iodamoeba butschlii
Trophozoite◦ Positive identification of unstained
trophozoites is diffi cult because it can mimic E. nana
◦ reside in the large intestine where they survive by ingesting bacteria and yeast but not red blood cells.
◦ In freshly prepared specimen Sluggishly progressive and has hyaline
pseudopodia
◦ In hematoxylin and trichome stain Vary in diameter from 4-20 um, but the majority
being within the range of 9-14um.
◦ Bacteria may be seen through out the cytoplasm
◦ Nucleus is usally not visible
Iodamoeba butschlii
Cysts◦Range in diameter from 6-16um (ave 9 or 10um).
◦Matured contains 1 nuclei, also the stage where it enters the host
◦If unstained, surrounded by a refractile wall. Irregular in shape instead of being
ovoid Glycogen vacuole is still prominent The nucleus is seldom distinct
Iodamoeba butschlii
Iodamoeba butschliiIodine Stain Characteristic
◦ Receives its generic name from the characteristic glycogen vacuoles of the cyst stage, which are so prominent that in iodine stains the cysts seem to contain little else. While glycogen vacuoles occur in other amoebae, they are never as regular in outline nor as consistently present an in Iodamoeba. With dark brown mass, often more than half the
diameter of the cyst with pale yellow cytoplasm
◦ The nucleus is seen at one side of the glycogen vacuole.
◦ The stain dissolve the glycogen
CYST
IODINE STAIN
Permanent stains◦ In well stained preparations, chromatin
granules may be form a crescent shape partially surrounding the karyosome. Linin fibrils may be seen running between the karyosome and the chromatin granules. This arrangement when visible has been described as a ‘basket of flowers’, with a distorted karyosome forming the ‘basket’, the linin fibrils as the stems and the granules as the blossoms.
◦ Reveal the characteristic nuclear structure ◦ Nuclear membrane is delicate◦ Karyosome is large, central in position,
irregularly rounded, and surrounded by a layer of small granules.
Iodamoeba butschlii
I. butschlii
Trophozoites, unstained Not characterictic
Trophozoites, stained Diagnostic: nucleus with large central karyosome surrounded by a ring of small chromatin granules; or nucleus structure as in cyst
Cysts, unstained Suggestive: large refractile body in cytoplasm; single nucleus
Cysts, stained Diagnostic: basket nuclei or nuclei as in trophozoite; large glycogen vacuole
Iron Hematoxylin stain
I.bütschlii trophozoite showing large blotchy karyosome withing nucleus. Nucleus outline visible showing no peripheral chromatin.
Iron Hematoxylin stain
I.bütschlii trophozoite - cell shape is more irregular that Endolimax nana which is usually rounder.

CYST
Nuclear membrane all but invisible. Large glycogen vacuole seen on right side of cell.
CYST
Large glycogen vacuole takes up most of the cell's interior

ENDOLIMAX NANAThe most common of the smaller
intestinal amebaeusually encountered with about the
same frequency as in E. coliSize range for both trophozoites and
cyst is similar to that of E. hartmanni [(usual size, 4-12 µm) and cyst forms (usual size, 5-10 µm)], thus makes confusion in unstained preparations
Epidemiology is cosmopolitanColonizes the colon
ENDOLIMAX NANA
ENDOLIMAX NANATrophozoites
Range from 5-12 um in diameter (average size close to 7 um). Pseudopodia are blunt and hyaline; they are extruded rapidly as in E. histolytica but fail to produce the directional locomotion seen in that species.
No nuclear chromatin, large karyosome, relatively clean cytoplasm (may contain some debris); tremendous nuclear variation (can mimicEntamoeba hartmanni, Dientamoeba fragilis and Iodamoeba bütschlii).
ENDOLIMAX NANACysts
◦Exhibit about the same size range as the trophozoites.
◦Most frequently ovoid, but sometimes they are spherical or subspherical
◦Refractile wall which is evident in zinc sulphate technique Results the “SHRINKAGE” of the cytoplasm
of many cysts-effect also seen in Giardia
◦Possess 1-4 nuclei In immature binucleate cysts, the nuclei
are paired and located at one side, while in mature tetranucleate cysts the nuclei are paired and located at each end.
Endolimax nanaTrophozoites, unstained Not charateristic
Trophozoites, stained Diagnostic: a nucleus with large karyosome, generally with little or no peripheral chromatinSuggestive: Ovoid
Cysts, unstained Suggestive: Ovoid
Cysts, stained Diagnostic: 4 nuclei with large karyosome and little or no peripheral chromatin
Trichrome stain
The nuclei in this mature, quadrinucleated cyst have a large karyosome surrounded by a clear halo; peripheral chromatin is absent.
Wet mount examination of SAF-fixed specimen
The nuclear characteristics of this trophozoite are clearly visible
