Summary
- 1. A family of six, resident in New York City, with four members infected with Endamoeba histolytica is presented.
- 2. It is probable that the infection was acquired by one parent outside the city and transmitted to the children.
- 3. This family infection occurring under good living conditions emphasizes the importance of searching for and adequately treating carriers of Endamoeba histolytica.
- 4. A more detailed study of familial amebiasis is being carried out and will be reported subsequently.
