ABSTRACT
Metronidazole (19 micrograms/ml) caused progressive increase in vacuolization in Entamoeba histolytica cells with disintegration of its plasma membrane leading to almost complete disappearance of the latter within 3 hours. The drug also induced formation of helical ribosomal aggregates in the cytoplasm and disappearance of button like structures inside the nucleus.
