[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concern for your son. Treatment of meiosis basically consist of two different kinds of antibiotics, one for clearing amoeba from intestine and one for clearing amoeba from tissues like liver, blood, etc. Former is mostly iodoquinol, dioxide furnace or paromomycine and later is metronidazole, tinidazole, sacnidazole or ornidazole. Treatment duration may range from 3-20 days based upon the antibiotic used. If your child has received both this kind of antibiotics than he has given proper treatment. Once your baby recovers from the infection, he will develop antibodies against the infection which may persist for long time (several years). So, antibody detection test will come positive till several years after infection. But persistent high level of antibodies may suggest tissue infection due to amoeba(e.g. liver abscess). You can go for stool microscopy a few weeks after completion of treatment which should be negative after successful treatment. You should be aware about the possible complications of amoebas and their symptoms. Furthermore, you should also know how to prevent repeated infection to your child which can very well happen if you don't take care. Hope this will be helpful. Do ask if any further question is there.http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
