Host Immune Response to Intestinal Amebiasis
Entamoeba histolytica is an invasive enteric protozoan parasite that causes amebiasis. Globally, diarrheal disease is second only to pneumonia as a leading cause of death in children under five, and intestinal amebiasis is one of the top ten causes of severe diarrhea in the developing world. Amebiasis is more common in malnourished children, a state that afflicts approximately onethird of child...
متن کاملPathogenesis of intestinal amebiasis: from molecules to disease.
In spite of a wealth of knowledge on the biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology of Entamoeba histolytica, little has been done to apply these advances to our understanding of the lesions observed in patients with intestinal amebiasis. In this review, the pathological and histological findings in acute amebic colitis are related to the molecular mechanisms of E. histolytica pathogenicit...
متن کاملDoes the eosinophil have a protective role in amebiasis?
While normal human eosinophils are destroyed in vitro by virulent Entamoeba histolytica, notwithstanding the presence of antibodies and complement, activated eosinophils promptly destroy the parasite although dying also at the end of the process. To study the possible in vivo participation of eosinophils in invasive amebiasis, we compared the induction of experimental amebic abscess of the live...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Intestinal Invasive Amebiasis in Japan, 2003–2009
We determined yearly change in prevalence and risk factors for amebic colitis caused by intestinal invasive amebiasis among persons who underwent endoscopy and assessed differences between HIV-positive and HIV-negative persons in Japan. A total of 10,930 patients were selected for analysis, of whom 54 had amebic colitis. Prevalence was in 2009 (0.88%, 12/1360) compared with 2003 (0.16%, 3/1904)...
متن کاملDiagnosis of intestinal amebiasis using salivary IgA antibody detection.
Attempts were made to use soluble antigen extract of strain HK-9 of Entamoeba histolytica to detect salivary IgA antibodies in intestinal amebiasis patients by using ELISA. Total salivary samples of 109 individuals were divided into four groups. Group I comprised 32 patients whose stools were positive only for E. histolytica cysts and/or trophozoites. Group II comprised 12 individuals whose sto...
