ABSTRACT
We report about a proctitis and ileitis terminalis, leading to the misdiagnosis of Chron's disease, in a male patient who has sex with men. Molecular multiplex analysis identified Entamoeba histolytica as the underlying cause. We provide diagnostic images, clues and pitfalls for diagnosis of E. histolytica associated proctitis.
