Title: Blastocystis hominis and colorectal cancer
The protozoan parasite, blastocystis hominis, has been studied by transmission electron microscopy in the stool samples of 320 patients. Various ultrastructural characteristics are noted and the incidence of this parasite infestation studied. The vacuolar form is the most common form. There is a strong correlation between the disease condition and the presence of blastocystis hominis (p<00001)....

متن کاملClinical significance of Blastocystis hominis.
A total of 19,252 stool specimens from 12,136 patients were examined by direct microscopy and the ethyl acetate-Formalin concentration method during the last 2 years. All liquid specimens and those in which parasite identification was difficult or equivocal were also examined in trichrome-stained preparations. A total of 3,070 intestinal parasites were seen in 2,889 patients. Blastocystis homin...
متن کاملEpidemiology and pathogenicity of Blastocystis hominis.
A prospective study was performed on a large outpatient population to evaluate the epidemiology and pathogenicity of Blastocystis hominis. Patients with stool specimens positive for B. hominis and negative for other bacterial and parasitic pathogens were sent a questionnaire and were requested to submit a follow-up specimen for ova-and-parasite examination. B. hominis was identified in 530 of 1...
