The present study aims to isolate and know the ratio of bacterial and parasitic dysentery with age and sex of patients in AL-Najaf province, A cross-sectional research was carried out from January 2020 to January 2021. Ninety people with probable amoebic dysentery were enrolled in the study from different age from Al-Manathera Hospital in Al-Najaf province, People who have diarrhea and are assumed to have dysentery had their stool samples taken., The diarrheal stool specimen were put into sterile, transparent wide mouthed bottles. The name, age and sex of the patients were properly labeled on the universal bottles. and refrigerated immediately. The results had shown most common bacteria and parasite infections were seen in patients aged 10 to 19, and male having the highest ratio compared to female, Diarrhoeagenic bacteria have high incidence from intestinal parasites infection in this study, Entamoeba histolytica infection was the highest in current study. Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp, Shigella sp were the predominate bacteria.
