Amoebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica) is one of the most problematic parasitic infections worldwide. Data regarding the effect of HIV-induced immunodeficiency on the status of E. histolytica infection are sparse in Iran. This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of anti-E. histolytica IgG among Iranian HIV patients. Further, it determined whether the advancement of imm...

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite that presents a risk to the health of millions of people worldwide. Due to the existence of different clinical forms caused by the parasite and also different virulence levels presented by one strain, one would expect differences in the profile of gene transcripts between virulent and nonvirulent cultures. In this study we used the differential disp...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the frequency of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar infection in school children in the community of Tlaltizapan, in order to understand the dynamics of infection within the school and family spheres of this population. Amoebiasis is an unsolved public health problem and an endemic disease in Mexico. The incidence rate varies depending on the sta...

SUMMARY Amoebiasis by Entamoeba histolytica is a major public health problem in developing countries and leads to several thousand deaths per year. The parasite invades the intestine (provoking diarrhea and dysentery) and the liver, where it forms abscesses (amoebic liver abscesses [ALAs]). The liver is the organ responsible for filtering blood coming from the intestinal tract, a task that impl...

Amoebic liver abscess is one of the forms invasive amoebiasis. With untimely treatment, this disease can be complicated by peritonitis, dissemination pathogen with development sepsis. This article presents a clinical case amoebic in patient V., 40 years old results biopsy examination surgical specimens

A U-loop bipolar collar electrode was devised for the use in electromyography of the intestines via the mouth or rectum. The findings in animal and clinical experiments were presented. The pattern of action potentials obtained by the intrƒ¿-intestinal method using this U-loop bipolar collar electrode was almost the same as that recorded by the ordinary extra-intestinal method with laparotomy. W...

INTRODUCTION Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are idiopathic conditions that primarily affect the gastrointestinal tract, but also are associated with a variety of systemic or extra-intestinal manifestations. These extra-intestinal manifestations may implicate multiple organ systems. For some of these disorders there is evidence that the severity and duration of the inflammatory...
