We have presented the history of a young man with amebic dysentery who has had emotional problems centering around bowel function since early childhood. Following the initial attack of dysentery in 1942, he has suffered several exacerbations which seem to be precipitated by emotional stresses. His present life situation produces conflicts similar to those he experienced in childhood and may explain his intense reactions to seemingly mild environmental stress.

The vulnerability of this patient's lower gastrointestinal tract seemed to be related to his personality pattern and his reactions to certain highly charged emotional conflicts.
