An indirect immunoperoxidase technique to detect Entamoeba histolytica in cell samples from patients suspected to have amebiasis is described. Using a rat antiserum specific for E. histolytica, the organism was clearly identified both in smears and in cell blocks. This immunoperoxidase technique seems to offer great possibilities for a specific, accurate and rapid identification of amebic infestation in diagnostic cytology.
