amebic
Like certain dysentery
Amebic (also spelled amoebic) describes something relating to or caused by amebas, single-celled organisms that move by extending temporary projections of their cytoplasm.
The term appears most often in medical contexts, particularly in amebic dysentery, a severe intestinal infection caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica.
An amebic abscess typically refers to a collection of pus in the liver resulting from such infection.
