Resumen
In the present work, it was demonstrated that in amoebic dysentery and amoebic liver abscess patients, the secretory response is long-lasting (> 12 months); and 50% of amoebic dysentery patients developed circulating antiamoebic IgG in comparison with 100% of amoebic liver abscess individuals. A total of 83% of these individuals developed high levels of serum anti-Entamoeba histolytica IgA. However, only 10.4% of the dysentery patients showed this anti-E. histolytica antibody isotype in serum. There was no correlation between secretory and serum antiamoebic response, suggesting independent inductive and effector sites in both compartments.
