Could Ameobiasis Be A Serious Condition For An Infant?

Dear doctor,

My boy is just 5 months old and he has been diagnosed to have amebiosis and is under medication ( feom yesterdAy). I am still wondering how he got infected with this parasite. About a month back, my father had amebiosis. Would that be a possible reason? But as far as i remember he tried to be away from my child. Also help me understand if this infection is a very serious condition for a 5 month old baby
