Defining Relapses Attributed to Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis
Disease caused by Sarcocystis spp are associated with a variety of clinical signs including abortion, hemorrhages, hair loss, muscular disease, and neurological dysfunction. In horses, clinical disease is associated with Sarcocystis fayeri and S neurona. The genesis of and clinical progression of disease caused by these protozoans in horses is not well defined but acute, chronic, and relapsing ...
متن کاملHuman Extraintestinal Sarcocystosis: What We Know, and What We don’t Know
There are over 150 known Sarcocystis species, and at least one is capable of infecting and causing disease in man. Extraintestinal (muscular) sarcocystosis and intestinal sarcocystosis are the two known manifestations of disease in humans. In this series of six cases and review, we focus on the invasive extraintestinal ("muscular") form of sarcocystosis in humans. This disease, which until rece...
متن کاملLaryngeal sarcocystosis accompanying laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma: case report and literature review.

Only one case of laryngeal sarcocystosis accompanying laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was identified. The overall prevalence of laryngeal sarcocystosis was 0.094%. The case was a 66-year-old man w...

متن کاملHuman Invasive Muscular Sarcocystosis Induces Th2 Cytokine Polarization and Biphasic Cytokine Changes, Based on an Investigation among Travelers Returning from Tioman Island, Malaysia.
Sarcocystis nesbitti is a parasite responsible for a biphasic eosinophilic febrile myositis syndrome in two recent outbreaks in Malaysia. We demonstrate Th2 cytokine polarization in infected travelers, an overall cytokine production decrease in the early phase of the disease suggestive of initial immunosuppression, and elevated levels of proinflammatory and chemotactic cytokines in the later my...
