Inhibition of Amebic Lysosomal Acidification Blocks Amebic Trogocytosis and Cell Killing
Entamoeba histolytica ingests fragments of live host cells in a nibbling-like process termed amebic trogocytosis. Amebic trogocytosis is required for cell killing and contributes to tissue invasion, which is a hallmark of invasive amebic colitis. Work done prior to the discovery of amebic trogocytosis showed that acid vesicles are required for amebic cytotoxicity. In the present study, we show ...

Since the ordinary tests for diagnosis chronic amebic colitis looks to be unsufficient. We try to design the following study. Our study seeks the importanc.;e of "IFA" (Indirect Immuno Fluorescent Aniti body). Among 145 patients with amebic colitis Entamoeba hystolitica observed with reapeted and specified tests. In searh of serologic tests, antibody range in 20 patients who had amebic coliti...

Intestinal amebiasis has a worldwide distribution and is common in tropical and subtropical areas. [n this prospective 7-month study, we studied the main clinical findings in patients with acute amebic proctocolitis and the efficacy of Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) treatment of these patients.Initially, 57 cases with acute amebic proctocolitis were selected. The maximum occurrence of infecti...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF !FA, IHA AND BLA TESTS IN THE SEROLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF AMEBIC LIVER ABSCESS
As there was not any previous comprehensive study on the serological tests for hepatic amebiasis in Iran, the indirect hemagglutination (IHA), indirect fluorescent antibody (IF A), and biocolored latex agglutination (BLA) tests were evaluated in the serodiagnosis of amebic liver abscess(ALA). For this purpose a total of 165 serum samples 18 of which were obtained from patients known to have...
متن کاملA review of the proposed role of neutrophils in rodent amebic liver abscess models
Host invasion by Entamoeba histolytica, the pathogenic agent of amebiasis, can lead to the development of amebic liver abscess (ALA). Due to the difficulty of exploring host and amebic factors involved in the pathogenesis of ALA in humans, most studies have been conducted with animal models (e.g., mice, gerbils, and hamsters). Histopathological findings reveal that the chronic phase of ALA in h...
