The study was conducted on 58 out patients with Entamoeba histolytica parasite and 28 healthy people as control group to determine the influences of infected on levels of iron, ferritin and leptin in patients infected with E. histolytica in compared with healthy group. Who have visited Al-Sadder medical city and Al- Hakeem Hospital in Al- Najaf Province during the period from January till August 2016. This disease diagnosis by using the wet amount microscope for stool from patients. The results showed significant decrease (P<0.05) iron and ferritin in E. histolytica infection patients in compared to control group. Also the results showed significant decreased (P<0.05) in serum leptin of patients with E. histolytica in compared to control group.
