A previously healthy 28-year-old man, who had recently returned from a trip to tropical area, was seen by physician for cramp abdominal pain, malaise, slight fever and bloody, mucoid diarrhoea. Liquid stool specimens were collected and submitted for enteric bacteria pathogens culture, as well as parasites. Stool cultures were negative for bacterial pathogens, examination for ova and parasites was positive for motile parasite in the saline wet mount and this moving parasite with finely granular cytoplasm and ingested red blood cells. The patient may be infected with which parasite? If your suspicion was true, please describe the main diagnostic basis?
