In this study, cytogenetic properties of A. escherichii were investigated using standard Giemsa staining, C-banding, and Ag-NOR staining techniques. The karyotype Sakarya bleak, the diploid chromosome number was 2n = 50, consists six pairs metacentric, 12 submetacentric, seven acrocentric autosomes (NF=86). No morphologically distinguishable heteromorphic sex chromosomes detected in karyotype. ...

A 49-year-old man was admitted due to fever, arthralgia, and diarrhea of unknown origin. He had received highly active antiretroviral therapy treatment since 2006, with HIV-RNA being undetectable. Hemogram revealed macrocytic anemia (hemoglobin, 10.5 g/dL; mean corpuscular volume, 101 fL), leukopenia (2.4 G/L; lymphocytes, 2.2 G/L; neutrophils, 0.14 G/L; monocytes, 0.04 G/L; eosinophils, 0.01 G...

THE first description of the inclusion bodies of trachoma was made by Halberstaedter and von Prowazek following the examination of Giemsa-stained scrapings from the conjunctivae of baboons which had been inoculated with secretions from trachomatous patients (cf. Julianelle, 1938). Since then Giemsa and its modifications have held prime place as a means of demonstrating these structures and this...

Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis), which causes urogenital system infections in humans, develops symptomatically and asymptomatically. T. vaginalis in females is diagnosed using direct microscopy, Giemsa staining, and cultivation methods for examination of samples derived from the vaginal posterior fornix. Serologic methods can also be employed. In cytological diagnosis, the ectocervical sme...
