We report here our findings on the double-contrast barium enema given to 8 patients with amebic colitis and a comparison is made with endoscopic features. A definite diagnosis of amebic colitis was made by fecal examination or by endoscopic biopsy. Radiologic findings included fine marginal serration, aphthoid ulcers, minute barium flecks, marginal defects, loss of haustration, and deformities of the bowel. Aphthoid ulcers and marginal defects are both characteristic of amebic colitis. The double-contrast barium enema is most useful for differentiating amebiasis from other forms of colitis.
