title: Ultrastructural arguments for cytoplasmic engulfment phenomenon in nucleus of Entamoeba histolytica.
abstract: The electron optic study of a pathogenic E. histolytica strain revealed particular aspects concerning the shape, structure and distribution in the nuclear space of the intranuclear structures known as button-like bodies. These aspects are ultrastructural arguments useful in interpreting the intranuclear inclusions as sections through the cytoplasmic material sequestered in the nuclear space by karyophagocytosis.
