Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Diagnosis is Amoebiasis ( Amoebic dysentery ) , infection caused by any of
the amoebas of the Entamoeba group , symptoms are most common
through infection by E.Histolytica . Amoeba of E.Coli is also one of the
8 amoeba causing amoebiasis , so e.coli in stool suggest amoebiasis .
* Treatment is systemic antibiotics IV / oral depending upon the clinical
severity , maintenance of hydration , electrolyte balance , nutritional
aspects .
Hope this clears your query .
