High prevalence of Entamoeba moshkovskii infection in HIV seropositive patients of Barak Valley, Assam, India
Results Out of 274 stool samples, multiplex PCR assay of 61 microscopy positive samples showing cyst and/ trophozoite stage of Entamoeba, revealed a higher prevalence of E. moshkovskii (12.8%; 95% CI= 9.30, 17.28) and lower prevalence of E. dispar (6.2%; 95% CI=3.85, 9.77) compared to E. histolytica (8.1%; 95% CI= 5.31, 11.91; p< 0.05). Of the 61 samples that were microscopically positive, 5 we...
متن کاملEntamoeba moshkovskii Infections in Children in Bangladesh
Entamoeba moshkovskii cysts are morphologically indistinguishable from those of the disease-causing species E. histolytica and the nonpathogenic E. dispar. Although sporadic cases of human infection with E. moshkovskii have been reported, the organism is considered primarily a free-living amoeba. No simple molecular detection tool is available for diagnosing E. moshkovskii infections. We used p...
متن کاملEntamoeba moshkovskii and Entamoeba dispar-associated infections in pondicherry, India.
The prevalence of Laredo strain--Entamoeba moshkovskii--and non-pathogenic E. dispar in patients attending the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research hospital, Pondicherry, India, is reported here. E. moshkovskii is reported for the first time in India. The species are morphologically indistinguishable from pathogenic E. histolytica. Of 746 stool samples screened, 6...
متن کاملPCR detection of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii in stool samples from Sydney, Australia.
This study investigated the presence of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii in stool samples from a patient population in Sydney, Australia. Stool samples were tested by microscopy and PCR. Five patients were found with E. histolytica infections, while E. dispar and E. moshkovskii were observed in 63 (70.8%) and 55 (61.8%) patients, respectively, by PCR. This is t...
متن کاملApplication of Multiplex PCR for Detection and Differentiation of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar and Entamoeba moshkovskii
BACKGROUND Entamoeba moshkovskii and E. dispar are impossible to differentiate microscopically from the pathogenic species E. histolytica. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (Multiplex PCR) is a widespread molecular biology technique for amplification of multiple targets in a single PCR experiment. METHODS For detection and differentiation of the three-microscopy indistinguishable Entamoeba ...
