The data base is represented by the number of new cases of amoebiasis that appeared anualy in the period 2000-2005. Epidemiologic estimation was made trough the evaluation of the situation of amoebiasis at national level, pursuing as evaluation parameters, prevalence and incidence of cases in one calendar year/source of reporting epidemiologic data and group study depednding on age.
The year with the maximum incidence was 2003 when 5,72 %, of population was affected. The smallest value of the incidence it’s registred at the begining of study period, when it was about 1,21% for year 2000.
