Micheal,

Chilomastix mesnili is cosmopolitan in distribution although found more frequently in warm climates. It is thought to be non-pathogenic although the trophozoite has been associated with diarrhoeic stool. This is the largest flagellate found in man with an incidence of 1-10% being in the large intestine.

To put it in layman's terms.....It's an intestinal perisite.

BTW......Thanks for starting this tread. I'm getting to start medical terminology classes next week, so this is giving me a chance and an excuse to start delving into my book ahead of time.

How about "iatrogenic illness".
