Answer to Case 697

 Answer to Parasite Case of the Week 697: Entamoeba hartmanni cyst and trophozoite. 

As noted by Florida Fan, Clinton White, TheOracle, and many others, the trophozoite has the classic Entamoeba-type chromatin pattern (peripheral ring of condensed chromatin and a central dot-like karyosome), whereas the size of the troph and cyst are characteristic of Entamoeba hartmanni. Thanks again to Idzi Potters for donation of another excellent case!
