Comparison of faecal microbiota in Blastocystis-positive and Blastocystis-negative irritable bowel syndrome patients
BACKGROUND We investigated whether the carriage of Blastocystis in IBS patients was associated with differences in the faecal microbiota. Forty patients with diarrhoea-predominant IBS (26 Blastocystis-positive and 14 Blastocystis-negative) and 57 healthy controls (HC) (42 Blastocystis-positive and 15 Blastocystis-negative) submitted faecal samples for metataxonomic analysis of the 16S ribosomal...
متن کاملBlastocystis hominis infection in irritable bowel syndrome patients.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder in which abdominal pain is associated with a defect or a change in bowel habits. Subtle inflammation, especially after infectious enteritis, has been sometimes suspected as one mechanism of pathogenesis. This research was performed (1) to evaluate the prevalence of parasitic infections and (2) the possible association of IBS and para...
متن کاملClinical pilot study: efficacy of triple antibiotic therapy in Blastocystis positive irritable bowel syndrome patients
BACKGROUND Blastocystis species are common human enteric parasites. Carriage has been linked to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Treatment of Blastocystis spp. with antimicrobials is problematic and insensitive diagnostic methods and re-infection complicate assessment of eradication. We investigated whether triple antibiotic therapy comprising diloxanide furoate, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole an...
متن کاملT1833 Blastocystis hominis in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Eradication With Nitazoxanide
G A A b st ra ct s disease with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Microsporidial infection was positive on wet preparation in 8(2.7%), in 11(3.7%) on Trichrome staining and in 13(4.3%) on PCR. Microsporidia was diagnosed with PCR in 8(61%) (p= 0.002) with IBS-D, 4(31%) with HCC and 1(8%) with functional dyspepsia. Conclusion: Microsporidial infection may be associated with IBS-D. PCR for microspo...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Subtyping of Blastocystis Species in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Patients from North India
Blastocystis species has been extensively studied in recent few years to establish its pathogenecity. Present study was designed to identify and examine the association of Blastocystis sp. and its subtypes with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).Blastocystis sp. detected using wet-mount microscopy, trichrome staining, in-vitro culture and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay in a cohort of IBS pat...
