Cutaneous amoebiasis Classification and external resources ICD-10 A06.7 ICD-9 006.6 Cutaneous amoebiasis refers to a form of amoebiasis that presents primarily in the skin.
It can be caused by Acanthamoeba[1][2] or Entamoeba histolytica.[3] When associated with Acanthamoeba, it is also known as "cutaneous acanthamoebiasis".[4]
It is also known as "amoebiasis cutis".[5]
Balamuthia mandrillaris has been described as entering through the skin,[6] and it can have cutaneous expression.[7]
