SARS-CoV-2 is the causal agent of COVID-19; first report infection was in December 2019 Wuhan, China. This virus has since caused largest pandemic history, and number deaths infections been significant. Nevertheless, development vaccines helped to reduce both infections. Comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, heart lung diseases, obesity have identified additional risk factors for progression COVID-19. Additionally, latent toxoplasmosis reported be a factor acquiring COVID-19 some...
Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite. In pregnant women on the worldwide scale, there are seroprevalences from 7% to 51.3% and in with abnormal pregnancies abortions vary 17.5% 52.3%. Mexico, seropositivity has been found 18.2% 44.8% deliveries or abortions. This study's aim was determine incidence of IgG IgM anti-Toxoplasma antibodies at Gineco-Obstetrics Hospital Western Medical Center Mexican Social Security Institute. Three hundred...
Congenital toxoplasmosis is an obstetric problem in Mexico, but its actual frequency unknown. Using a network for screening of non-infectious disorders, we performed pilot study to determine the IgM antibodies Toxoplasma gondii 1,003 infants (53.1% male, mean ± SD age = 18.3 13.0 days, birth weight 3.116 0.453 kg) Mexico City from March April 2003. Blood samples embedded filter paper were assayed using capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and results confirmed by Western blot. Two...
The prevalence of toxoplasmosis in the general population Guadalajara, Mexico, is around 32%. Toxoplasmosis can cause ocular lesions and slowing reaction reflexes. Latent has been related with traffic accidents. We aimed to assess anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies visual impairments accidents drivers from metropolitan Guadalajara. prospectively evaluated IgG IgM anti-T. 159 individuals involved accidents, 164 control never Cases reactivation or acute infection were detected by PCR a subset...
Cats are the definitive hosts of Toxoplasma gondii. Infected cats excrete oocysts in their feces, infecting humans and other animals. The objective present study was to determine presence anti-Toxoplasma antibodies cat owners pets, if there a relationship between infection who live with infected cats. IgG sera 59 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), 24 from cats, IgG, IgM, IgA found using Burney's ELISA. Thirty-eight (64%) positive anti-Toxoplasma. Seropositivity for...
Intestinal parasites in Mexico are an endemic problem. A study was conducted children, teenagers and adults a rural community Colima, to examine the prevalence intensity of Ascaris lumbricoides infection evaluate parasitological clinical efficacy nitazoxanide (NTZ). Two hundred eighty participated this study. Parasitological diagnosis from faeces confirmed by three consecutive stool samples using floatation concentration Faust method. Egg counts were performed as described Kato-Katz...
Anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies of all IgG subclasses were studied in mother/newborn pairs. IgG1 the mothers and IgG3 newborns related to offspring clinical problems; IgG2 babies markers vertical transmission, IgG4 or children associated problems. may be congenital infection outcome.
To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with intestinal parasites in population of San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, Mexico.A total 277 samples from 104 participants were analysed using direct smear, flotation, formaldehyde/ethyl acetate, modified Kinyoun's acid-fast stain methods. The Graham method was applied only for children under 12 years age diagnosis Enterobius vermicularis.The parasite infections study 77.9% including: Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar/E. moshkovskii/E....
With the emergence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), in patients with acquired syndrome (AIDS), Toxoplasma gondii has arisen as an important opportunist pathogenic agent, especially central nervous system, being most common cause intracerebral lesions. The incidence HIV-infected depends principally on existence latent parasitosis population affected. Through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), IgG and IgM anti-Toxoplasma antibodies were found 92 which 46 (50.0%) seropositive,...
Some proteins of the Toxoplasma gondii are recognized by IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies in patients with acute chronic toxoplasmosis, depending on strain stage Toxoplasma. Sixty-nine sera from immunocompetent individuals were studied through Western-Blot Test: 20 has an infection, 29 a toxoplasmosis infection healthy (seronegatives). The protein analysis revealed IgG performed immunoplot method order to know their recognition frequency (f) be valued as markers. In phase, showed (f = 0.60) for...
Abstract: A 7‐year‐old Mexican boy with end‐stage cirrhosis underwent liver transplantation and was maintained cyclosporine prednisolone. No specific data about Toxoplasma gondii or cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in the cadaver donor were available. The recipient seronegative for , but CMV‐IgG positive before transplantation. Ganciclovir administered prophylaxis during 3 months, 5 months later he presented icterus increased transaminases. Acute transplant rejection ruled out by biopsy....

Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) is defined as the presence of (HBV) DNA in serum and/or liver from HBsAg-negative subjects. Our aim was to determine OBI frequency and genomic patients undergoing renal transplant their cognate donors a selected population Western Mexico.Blood samples were obtained 94 recipients (188 participants) before kidney transplantation. Identification HBV carried-out by nested (S-region) semi-nested (Pol-region) PCR both 188 participants at pre-surgical stage...
Background: Some data support that health care workers (HCWs) must have sufficient and good quality personal protective equipment (PPE) the necessary training to manage COVID patients avoid contagion can lead death. The objective of this study was determine relationship between biosafety on biological risks SARS-CoV-2 fatigue, anxiety, or depression in who for hospitals, from September 2020 August 2021. Material methods: questionnaire used (Q6S64I) consisted 6 spheres: Sociodemographic...
Chronic infection with the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii produces an accumulation of cysts in brain and muscle, causing tissue damage. The motor regions affect some kinematic locomotion parameters host. To localize from study changes C57BL/6 mice. Female adult mice were infected orally 30 ME-49 cysts. An uninfected group (n = 7) two groups, examined 15 40 days postinfection, used for this study. evaluate locomotion, marked indelible ink on iliac crest, hip, knee, ankle, phalangeal...
