General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
This means that he has blood and pus in his stools. The Entamoeba colis is an amoeba but is probably not the cause. He needs a stool culture to determine what is causing this. It looks like he has a colon infection. You cannot say what treatment is needed unless you know the cause. Get him to a doctor soon for blood and more stool studies.
