I'll stick my neck on the line and go for Iodamoeba buetschlii cysyt. The cyst is uninucleate with a large karyosome. There is also a large glycogen mass. The significance is that the cyst is at its infective stage. -- Chris H

I think it's entameba histolytica and the significance it that this pt needs tx so that he doesn't develop brain abscesses, etc.
