Abstract

BACKGROUND: Amebiasis represents a significant global health concern. This is especially evident in developing countries, where infections are more common. The primary diagnostic method in laboratories involves the microscopy of stool samples. However, this approach can sometimes result in the misinterpretation of amebiasis as other gastroenteritis (GE) conditions. The goal of the work is to produce a machine learning (ML) model that uses laboratory findings and demographic information to automatically predict amebiasis.
