AB  - Seventy-one asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) -infected 
      individuals who underwent colonoscopy for detection of diseases other than 
      amebiasis were included in this study. Ulcerative lesions caused by Entamoeba 
      histolytica were identified by colonoscopy and biopsy in 11.3% (8 of 71) of 
      individuals. Stool microscopic examination hardly identified Entamoeba, whereas 
      serum antibody against E. histolytica was often elevated in patients with 
      subclinical intestinal amebiasis. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II allele 
      against E. histolytica infection (DQB1*06:01) was frequently identified in these 
      patients. This study emphasizes the endemic nature of E. histolytica infection in 
      our cohort and the difficulties in epidemiological control.
