Human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by L. infantum and cutaneous (CL) tropica have been reported in Turkey. is also responsible for canine (CanL) it widely common the country. The main aim of present study was to design a real-time PCR method based on internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region diagnosis all clinical forms Mediterranean, identify species directly from samples. Totally, 315 specimens, human/canine (blood, bone marrow, lymph node) (lesion aspiration) samples, 51 Turkish...
Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent human malaria parasite in Americas. Previous studies have contrasted genetic diversity of populations Americas with those Asia and Oceania, concluding that New World exhibit low consistent a recent introduction. Here we used an expanded sample complete mitochondrial genome sequences to investigate P. as well other continental populations. We show comparable identify several divergent clades circulating South America may resulted from independent...
Giardiasis, an intestinal protozoan infection caused by Giardia intestinalis, is common in southeastern Anatolia,Turkey. In this cross-sectional survey, to investigate the role of giardiasis on growth and psychomotor development, we studied 160 children aged 0–5 years. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, anthropometry, Ankara Developmental Screening Inventory, laboratory analysis fecal samples. The results showed that 50 per cent subjects infected with at least one pathogen...
Plasmodium vivax is not thought to be transmitted in western and central Africa, because of the very high prevalence red blood cell Duffy-negative phenotype local populations, a condition which confer complete resistance against infection with P. vivax. There are, however, persistent reports travelers returning from this region infections. To investigate whether transmission occurs region, presence antibodies specific preerythrocytic-stage antigens was assessed individuals Republic Congo. A...
Growing evidence suggests that increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is associated with female infertility caused by conditions such as polycystic ovarian disease, obesity, thyroid dysfunction, and endometriosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether any relationship exists between CVD unexplained infertility.Sixty-five women 65 fertile controls were enrolled in the study. markers low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density (HDL), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG),...
Plasmodium vivax, the second most prevalent of human malaria parasites, is estimated to affect 75 million people annually. It very rare, however, in west and central Africa, due high prevalence Duffy negative phenotype population. Due its rarity previous studies on phylogeny world-wide P. vivax have suffered from insufficient samples African parasites. Here we compare mitochondrial sequence diversity parasites Africa with those other areas world, order investigate origin present-day vivax....
Abstract Objective To report isolation of Leishmania major strains obtained from 18 Turkish autochthonous cutaneous leishmaniasis ( CL ) patients infected with L. between 2011 and 2014. Methods Initial diagnosis relied on microscopy culture in enriched medium, prepared by adding specific amounts liver extract, protein lipid sources to NNN medium. Promastigotes were then transferred RPMI medium including 10% foetal calf serum for mass culture. Species‐specific real‐time PCR targeting ITS 1...

In most regions of the world, chloroquine (CQ) has been standard treatment for Plasmodium vivax malaria more than 40 years. Recently, however, CQ-resistant P. reported from Oceania, several parts Asia, and South America. The therapeutic efficacy CQ in acute, now assessed two areas Turkish province Sanliurfa: towns Karacadag Sekerli. On admission on days 2, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, all 112 patients investigated were examined clinically blood samples collected smeared. Treatment consisted 10 mg CQ/kg...
We aimed to investigate the relationship between quantitative Plasmodium vivax parasitaemia and serum cytokine levels in a highly endemic region of Turkey, where such relation has not been investigated before. Active screening was done total 1316 people residing 33 villages Sanliurfa province, Turkey. The study population consisted 79 consecutive patients with P. malaria, control group included 89 healthy subjects. Thick blood smears were examined for malaria parasite count. Serum samples...
ABSTRACT In this study, we aimed to evaluate the validity of conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting test for diagnosis anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) using serum samples obtained from 51 patients with parasitologically proven nontreated CL (NonT-CL patients) 62 under treatment (UT-CL patients). Additionally, 29 serologically visceral (VL) were also used as positive controls, 43 blood donors negative controls. All sera diluted same dilution...
Plasmodium vivax is the second most prevalent global species causing malaria after P. falciparum. These two spp. co-exist in endemic areas, apart from west and central Africa, which has only However, southeastern Turkey one of exceptional regions with sole presence infection, where a thorough epidemiologic survey not been performed. Here, we report for first time identification naturally acquired antibodies against 19-kd C-terminal region merozoite surface protein-1 (PvMSP1(19)), using...
Plasmodium vivax infection has been gaining attention because of its re-emergence in several parts the world. Southeastern Turkey is one places which persistent focal malaria caused exclusively by P. parasites occurs. Although control and elimination studies have underway for many years, no detailed study conducted to understand mechanisms underlying ineffective this region. Here, first time, using serologic markers we try extract as much information possible region get a glimpse...
Introduction: There are a limited number of studies the agricultural population about prevalence Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection throughout world. The aim this study was to determine and risk factors toxoplasmosis in female farmworkers southeastern region Turkey. Methodology: optimum sample size determined using Epi Info Program, blood samples were collected from 684 women reproductive age. Serum analyzed by qualitative quantitative methods for anti-T. IgG IgM antibodies with...
ÖZETGünümüzde Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) rakamlarına göre, her yıl, 1.5 milyonu kutanöz leishmaniasis (KL), diğerleri visseral (VL) olmak üzere yaklaşık 2 milyon yeni vakası ortaya
The objective of this study to detect Plasmodium and a subspecies using filter paper in malaria endemic province, Sanliurfa, Turkey, compare the results nested PCR (nPCR) with microscopy for diagnosis present epidemiological data malaria. This was carried out malaria-endemic Sanliurfa between 2008 2011. Finger prick blood samples, thick thin Giemsa-stained smears, were collected from 153 malaria-suspected farmworkers. smears examined microscopically. obtained DNA products, extracted...
As anorexia and hypermetabolism are common in cirrhosis, leptin levels may be increased this disease. In study, we investigated the relation between severity of disease serum post-hepatitis cirrhosis role body composition, gender viral aetiology association. Thirty-five cases with 15 healthy controls were enrolled study. Body composition including mass index, fat percentage determined. Serum assayed. Leptin significantly higher among cirrhotic patients independent sex compared to (p =...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a slowly progressive condition characterized by poorly reversible airflow limitation that associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lung. It has been shown there seroepidemiological association Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection many conditions.In this study, we aimed to investigate seroprevalence in Hp patients COPD and determine whether between COPD.Forty-nine voluntary 50 healthy control subjects similar age sex were included...
