Other amebas within this group are Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba hartmanni, Entamoeba polecki, and Iodamoeba buetschlii. These organisms have the same life cycle (Figure 262-1), characterized by a trophozoite stage, which lives in the colon, and a cyst stage, which is infectious. These organisms are differentiated from one another by their morphology.1,2 E. nana trophozoites (Figure 262-2) measure 5 to 12 µm in diameter. The cytoplasm is granular with multiple vacuoles that contain ingested bacteria and debris. The nucleus is small and when stained, the nuclear chromatin characteristically is distributed against the nuclear membrane. The mature cysts (Figure 262-3) are ovoid to round in shape (similar in size to trophozoites), contain 4 nuclei, and also can have small, slightly curved chromatoid rods and glycogen vacuoles. Immature cysts containing 2 nuclei rarely are seen in stool specimens
