Evaluating Pulmonary Samples of Immunodeficient Patients for a Free-Living Amoeba: Acanthamoeba in BAL Samples
Background: Pulmonary disorders caused by parasites are common in many tropical regions. Acanthamoeba is an opportunistic parasite, and most of its dangerous complications are seen in patients with immune deficiencies. Considering the high dissemination of Acanthamoeba parasite in water, soil, and fine airborne dust in Iran, this research was performed to study the rate of pulmonary secreti...
متن کاملFree-Living Amoeba Acanthamoeba Triggers Allergic Inflammation of Airways
An estimated 300 million people worldwide have asthma, and 250,000 deaths are attributed annually to the disease. From 2001 to 2009, the number of people diagnosed with asthma grew by 4.3 million. Allergic airway inflammation is closely related to airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), the production of mucus, and airway remodeling. This inflammation is mediated by the T helper type 2 (Th2)-cell res...
متن کاملIsolation and Molecular Characterization of Free-Living Amoebae from Different Water Sources in Italy
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are protozoa ubiquitous in Nature, isolated from a variety of environments worldwide. In addition to their natural distribution, some species have been found to be pathogenic to humans. In the present study a survey was conducted in order to evaluate the presence and to characterize at molecular level the isolates of amoebic organisms collected from different water sou...

Background and purpose: Acanthamoeba spp. are an opportunistic protozoan in environmental sources that can cause respiratory infection and keratitis. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and genotypes of Acanthamoeba in rural drinking water sources in Kashan and Aran-Bidgol, Iran. Materials and methods: In this study, 162 samples from 54 drinking water sources were colle...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Pathogenic Acanthamoeba Isolated from Drinking and Recreational water in East Azerbaijan, Northwest Iran
Acanthamoeba- related infections, such as amoebic keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, can develop in high-risk population through contaminated water sources. Thus, surveying water resources, particularly those available for human use, is of the utmost importance. In the present study, 67 water samples were collected from water resources in East Azerbaijan, a province in northweste...
