[Ulcerative colitis or amebic colitis--a case report].

The large intestine reacts relatively monomorphically to different stimuli. From this differential-diagnostic problems may result. The history of a patient is described which could be pursued retrospectively and prospectively over 14 years and during the course of which the correction of the diagnosis ulcerous colitis into chronic relapsing amoebic colitis was necessary. As a conclusion is emphasized that in every symptomatology of colitis primarily bacterial and parasitologic examinations of the faeces should be brought about and it must be also thought of spontaneous amoebic infections in our country.
