Problems in Recognition and Diagnosis of Amebiasis: Estimation of the Global Magnitude of Morbidity and Mortality
Abstract
Major problems with a wide array of imperfect tests for diagnosis of amebiasis severely limit the understanding of its magnitude and epidemiology. A greater hindrance is the varied, inconsistent application of existing methods in different areas of the world. The best estimates suggest that probably 480 million people were infected with Entamoeba histolytica and 36 million developed disabling colitis or extraintestinal abscesses in 1981. At least 40 thousand deaths are attributable to amebiasis, and on a global scale, amebiasis likely ranks third among parasitic causes of death, behind only malaria and schistosomiasis. Much remains to be learned of its frequency of occurrence and epidemiology as needed improved diagnostic tools are developed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
