+The condition [[Amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery due to Entamoeba histolytica)]] is caused by the pathogen [[Entamoeba histolytica (amoebic infection of non-intestinal sites)]]. The two should not be coded together - the condition implies the pathogen so it doesn't need to be coded. The pathogen should only be used when the amoebic infection manifests outside of the intestines.
