Human giardiosis and cryptosporidiosis are caused by the enteric protozoan parasites Giardia duodenalis Cryptosporidium spp. Both pathogens major contributors to global burden of diarrhoeal disease, affecting primarily children immunodebilitated individuals in resource-poor settings. Giardiosis also represent an important, often underestimate, public health threat developed countries. In Spain only limited information is currently available on epidemiology these infections. Molecular data...
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a cleansing eyelid wipe in reducing microbiota present on ocular surface before cataract surgery. Methods: A single-center, prospective, single-blind phase IV study was conducted at University Complutense Madrid. Forty-five adult patients who were scheduled for surgery after treatment with commercially available wipes consecutively enrolled. The lasted 5 days and examined day 0 (D0), 3 (D3), (D5). They received instructions to apply only eye subject...
The first confirmed case of Rickettsia parkeri infection in Uruguay is reported. To date, South America, molecularly cases human have been found Argentina and probably, Brazil. Our patient returned to Spain after a 7-day trip Colonia Suiza (Southwestern Uruguay). He presented fever (39°C), chills, two eschars (tache noire-like) surrounded by an indurated, erythematous halo on the inner side left ankle besides maculopapular rash legs. After treatment with doxycycline for 7 days, he fully...
During recent decades, a tick-borne rickettsial syndrome, characterized by eschar and painful lymphadenopathy after Dermacentor marginatus-bite, has been described as an emerging rickettsiosis in Europe. Our group named it DEBONEL (Dermacentor-borne-necrosis-erythema-lymphadenopathy), regarding the vector main infection signs. Other groups called TIBOLA (tick-borne-lymphadenophathy) and, later, SENLAT (scalp-eschar-and-neck-lymphadenopathy-after-tick-bite), expanding, latter, etiological...
To define and characterize the progression of spontaneous autoimmune disease that develops in mice absence leukocyte adhesion receptor P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1).Skin-resident immune cells from PSGL-1-deficient C57BL/6 control different ages were isolated analyzed by flow cytometry. Biochemical parameters mouse serum urine, presence autoantibodies was investigated. Skin internal organs extracted, their structure histologically.Skin-resident innate adaptive PSGL-1(-/-) had a...
The importance of submicroscopic malaria infections in high-transmission areas could contribute to maintain the parasite cycle. Regarding non-endemic areas, its remains barely understood because parasitaemia these afebrile patients is usually below detection limits for microscopy, hence molecular techniques are often needed diagnosis. In addition this, lack standardized protocols screening immigrants from endemic may underestimate infection with Plasmodium spp. aim this study was assess...
The antiphospholipid syndrome is an acquired autoimmune thrombophilia that produces significant morbidity and mortality. Its diagnosis requires the presence of antibodies clinical manifestations include thrombotic phenomena and/or recurrent miscarriages. may be detected in many instances, including healthy subjects without underlying disease. are varied occur episodes also appear other situations. Therefore, it important to have clear guidelines order establish a correct diagnosis, carry out...
The prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs) has been extensively studied in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but not those cutaneous (CLE). We determined the APLAs among our CLE, and analyzed their clinical serologic characteristics. This retrospective study 182 subacute or chronic CLE who had follow-up for 5 years. selected positive 1 more following 2 measurements at least 12 weeks apart: anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin (ACAs), anti-β2-glycoprotein I...
