Abstract Background The novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has begun with a wave of misinformation and fear infection. This may have led people to self-medicate inappropriately. World Health Organization describes self-medication (SM) as utilizing medicines relieve symptoms or health conditions without consulting physician. Inappropriate drug use is burden on both resources patient in the Arab region. study aimed detect prevalence influencing factors among general population during...
Toxoplasmosis remains a prevalent parasitic zoonosis worldwide, raising public health concerns. The global information available regarding the role of camels in epidemiology Toxoplasma gondii is still limited. This study aimed to assess seroprevalence T. dromedary ( Camelus dromedarius ) from northern and southern Egypt. A total 513 serum samples were obtained across Cairo (Lower Egypt) Aswan (Upper governorates. Modified Agglutination Test (MAT) was performed screen for anti- antibodies....
Introduction Rodents, thriving in human-altered environments, pose significant public health risks due to their role as reservoirs for numerous zoonotic parasites. Among these, Cryptosporidium spp. are recognized globally leading causes of waterborne and foodborne diarrheal illnesses humans. The specific fat sand rats ( Psammomys obesus ) the transmission Egypt genotypic characteristics circulating species these animals remain poorly understood. Methods In this study, a total 150 individual...
Background: The present study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of chitosan nanoparticles and metronidazole against Giardia lamblia as well evaluate efficacy loading on nanoparticles.
 Methods: This was carried out at medical Parasitology Department, Faculty Medicine, Zagazig University Theodor Bilharz Research institute (TBRI) from February 2019 2020 45 hamsters. They were divided into 5 groups 9 hamsters each: Group A non-infected hamsters, B infected control group, C, D E with...
Our work aimed to evaluate the possible effect of Annona muricata (Graviola) leaf extract on Trichinella spiralis in vitro and vivo studies. worms were isolated from infected mice transferred three culture media - group I (with no drugs), II (contained Graviola) III albendazole) then they examined using electron microscope. In study, divided into five groups: GI (infected untreated), GII (prophylactically treated with Graviola for seven days before infection), GIII Graviola), GIV GV a...
Cryptosporidiosis is a serious parasitic diarrheal disease linked to the occurrence of colorectal cancer in immunocompromised patients. The FDA-approved drug nitazoxanide (NTZ) achieved temporary effect, and relapses occur. Annona muricata leaf widely used traditional medicine treat wide range disorders, including antiparasitic anticancer effects. So, this study aimed investigate properties compared NTZ Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) acutely chronically infected immunosuppressed mice. A...
Introduction Giardiosis remains one of the most prevalent enteric parasitic infections globally. Earlier molecular-based studies conducted in Egypt have primarily focused on paediatric clinical populations and were based single genotyping markers. As a result, there is limited information frequency genetic diversity G. duodenalis individuals all age groups. Methods Individual stool samples ( n = 460) from outpatients seeking medical care collected during January–December 2021 Kafr El-Sheikh...
The zoonotic intestinal protozoan parasites and Helicobacter pylori) are worldwide distributedhuman pathogens. This study evaluated the co-infection between H. pylori commonestintestinal parasites. A total of 240 stool samples were collected over one yearfrom patients attending outpatients' clinics Kafrelsheikh University Hospitals, after verbalconsent for participation. Samples subjected to microscopic examination directly beforeand formol ether concentration. examined using merthiolate...
Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis) infection has been long considered among the sexually transmitted diseases that possesses a clear effect on women's health especially in childbearing period.A 234 females of age range 18-45 years old attending Gynecology and Obstetrics Outpatient Clinic Kasr El Aini Hospitals were enrolled cross-sectional study. The taken vaginal swabs subjected to wet mount microscopy, Giemsa stain, modified Diamond's culture, nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR)...
This study detected of the molecular Cryptosporidium species in immunocompetent and immunocompromisedadults with diarrhea attended Kafrelsheikh University Hospitals to assessrisk factors. Stool samples from 200 & immunocompromised wereexamined using acid fast (AF) stain PCR/restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)targeting small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene. PCR amplified was 15(7.5%) immunocompetentand 23 (11.5%) immunocompromised, significance difference as age,presence mucous, abdominal...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a hyperglycemic state wherein the patient has high level of bloodglucose. People with diabetes are vulnerable to infection opportunistic intestinal parasitesas it considered immune suppression.The study evaluated protozoa co-infected Helicobacter pylori among156 DM patients and estimated risk factors. Early morning stool samples were obtainedfrom each participant examined for H. protozoa. The overall rate ofprotozoa was 79.5% (124/156), which Blastocystis hominis,...
Cryptosporidiosis is a recognized child infectious killer and the second cause of diarrheal disease death in infants.Assessing Cryptosporidium spp.genetic diversity real goal to elucidate its transmission dynamics design preventive measures absence effective treatment.Cryptosporidium isolates stool Egyptian children were detected using Acid Fast (AF) staining, copro-nPCR/RFLP assay time PCR high-resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis assay.Stool samples collected from 335 complaining...
Several studies demonstrated a high seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in schizophrenic patients than healthy individuals.This case control study determined the serprevalence T. among and individuals at Kafrelsheikh University Hospitals to estimate its effect on serum dopamine level.T. IgG was detected 52.2% &23.9% respectively with significance (P value = 0.005).Serum level higher statistical <0.001) also positive negative <0.001).
Abstract Background: Blastocystis hominis ( B. ) is a cosmopolitan intestinal protozoan that has been related to several gastrointestinal disturbances simulating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, the underlying pathogenicity of blastocystosis in human studies remains indistinct. Methods: In cross-sectional study, 167 stool samples from patients attending internal medicine department, Kafrelsheik university hospital were examined. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) -based identification...
Although the incidence of Giardia lamblia increased, data regarding its possible associated risk factors are scares.The study investigated genetic diversity humans G. positive isolates in kafrelsheikh Governorate, and impact multiple on prevalence.A total 300 fecal samples were collected from patients attended Kafrelsheikh University -giardin gene used to identify assemblages.The results showed that, PCR amplification 63/300 (21%) samples, them, 12 assemblages A (19.1%) 52 B (80.9%).On...
Abstract Pentatrichomonas hominis ( P.hominis) is a large intestinal flagellated protozoan infecting humans. Little known about the epidemiology of P.hominis in Egypt, its association with gastrointestinal symptoms and co-infection other parasites. Demographic clinical data were collected from 180 school-aged children. Parasitological examination fecal samples was done using direct wet mount, formalin ethyl-acetate, Kato-Katz cultivation on Jones' medium to detect associated parasitic...
Background: Differentiation between Entamoeba species can be molecularly achieved, especially since E. histolytica has been linked to high morbidity and mortality.Fecal calprotectin (FC) as an inflammatory marker may amoebiasis.Objective: The present study aimed at investigating the association of in amoebiasis.Patients Methods: Stool samples were collected from 294 patients attending Internal Medicine Outpatient Clinic Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt; suffering diarrhea with or without other...
