Amebiasis is thought to have been discovered by Hippocrates, who described a patient with fever and dysentery. In 1828, the association between dysentery and amebic liver abscess was reported by James Annesley, an Irish physician. In 1875, ''E. histolytica'' was first isolated from a patient with dysentery by Fedor Losch, a Russian physician.
