El diagnóstico se realizó por anoscopía e hisopado rectal. El examen en fresco y el directo-tinción mostraron abundantes trofozoítos de Balantidium coli. A pesar del tratamiento con metronidazol 750 mg cada 8 h, la evolución fue desfavorable. La biopsia post mortem evidenció compromiso pancolónico con ulceraciones múltiples y microperforación de las tres capas colónicas, así como presencia de trofozoítos de Balantidium coli en el fondo de las úlceras. Dicho parásito también infestaba uno de los dos cerdos del paciente. El presente reporte llama la atención acerca de esta zoonosis en el diagnóstico diferencial de síndrome disentérico en zonas rurales.Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Humana1999-06-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/anales/article/view/448010.15381/anales.v60i2.4480Anales de la Facultad de Medicina; Vol. 60 No. 2 (1999); 119-123Anales de la Facultad de Medicina; Vol. 60 Núm. 2 (1999); 119-1231609-94191025-5583reponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstname:Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstacron:UNMSMspahttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/anales/article/view/4480/3562Derechos de autor 1999 Wenceslao Vásquez Jiménez, José Vidalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.csi.unmsm:article/44802020-04-13T20:52:06Z
