Prototheca: A Danger Underwater
Prototheca wickerhamii rarely causes systemic infection in humans but when it occurs, there are coexisting comorbidities. This case illustrated shows the manifestation of this opportunistic microorganism in an immunosuppressed patient. The patient was successfully treated with Liposomal amphotericin B with complete resolution of the lesions.
متن کاملAsthma is a Serious Danger
میزان مرگ و میر آسم طی دهه گذشته بطور چشمگیری تغییر کرده است. با مبتلا کردن ۱۵ میلیون آمریکایی میزان مرگ و میر در سال ۱۹۷۸، به رقم ۱۸۷۲ نفر و ۹ سال بعد، به بیش از ۴۰۰۰ نفر رسید. علت چنین افزایش چشمگیری روشن نیست. علل احتمالی عبارتند از کاهش ظرفیت تنفس، استفاده بیش از حد از داروهای استثنائی و استنباط غلط بیماران و نیز مراکز درمانی نسبت به شدت بیماری است. بررسی دقیق، معالجات مناسب و آموزش به ب...
متن کاملDiversity within the current algal species Prototheca zopfii: a proposal for two Prototheca zopfii genotypes and description of a novel species, Prototheca blaschkeae sp. nov.
In order to clarify the intraspecies taxonomic position of the non-photosynthetic algal species Prototheca zopfii, as well as the aetiology of bovine mammary protothecosis, a selection of P. zopfii strains isolated from clinical cases of protothecal mastitis and from various environmental habitats was characterized using a polyphasic molecular approach. Based on sequence analysis of the 18S rRN...
متن کاملPrototheca zopfii mastitis in a herd of dairy cows.
Mastitis caused by the colourless alga Prototheca zopfii was diagnosed in 17 of 120 cows in a dairy herd. Infection occurred in animals varying from 3-14 years old and was present in one to four quarters of each cow. Nine cases were associated with clinical mastitis characterised by the presence in milk of flakes or small clots. Somatic cell counts consistent with subclinical mastitis (>500 x 1...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Polish Prototheca zopfii mastitis isolates and first isolation of Prototheca blaschkeae in Poland.
Bovine mastitits caused by the colorless, yeast-like alga Prototheca zopfii is a serious and complex condition that results in heavy economic losses in the dairy industry, both through a substantial reduction in milk production and culling of infected animals. Based on the 18S rDNA sequence analysis, genotype-specific PCR assays have recently been developed to differentiate within the species P...
