چکیده
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 microsporidia has a better yield than examination of a wet preparation or Trichrome staining

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...
