Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is caused by various strains of Leishmania donovani, infantum, and chagasi with different geographical distribution. The aim this study was to identify the that can cause VL in southern Iran. DNA were extracted from slides bone marrow aspirates (#42) spleen punctures (#22), which positive for leishman body patients who referred hospitals affiliated Shiraz University Medical Sciences. Differences determined size difference polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
Antifungal susceptibility testing is a subject of interest in the field medical mycology. The aim present study were distributions and antifungal patterns various Candida species isolated from colonized infected immunocompromised patients admitted to ten university hospitals Iran.In totally, 846 more than 4000 clinical samples identified by API 20 C AUX system. was performed broth microdilution method according CLSI.The most frequent all albicans (510/846). epidemiological cutoff value...
The objectives of this study were to analyze the clinical features and laboratory profiles risk factors associated with critical illness children severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).One hundred sixty-six disease 2019 (COVID-19) Iranian pediatric patients recruited through a collaborative research network between March May 2020. Demographics, clinical, laboratory, radiological results obtained from patient files.Of 166 patients, 102 (61%) 64 (39%) males females,...

Background The group A streptococcus (GAS) M protein, encoded by the emm gene, acts as a major virulence factor. Emm-typing is GAS gold standard molecular typing and based on DNA sequence of nucleotides gene. aim present study was to isolate from patients detect types isolates using typing. Methods total 1000 throat samples were collected with pharyngitis referred Aboozar Children's Hospital in Ahvaz, Iran. We performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing all Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion...
Candidiasis is a major fungal infection, and Candida albicans the cause of infections in humans. The Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) developed new breakpoints for antifungal agents against C. albicans. In this multi-center study, we aimed to determine drug susceptibility profile albicans, isolated from Iranian population according species-specific CLSI.Clinical samples were cultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar incubated at room temperature seven days. isolates transferred...
Background: More than three million children in developing countries die from acute diarrhea annually. Rotaviruses and Adenoviruses are the most important etiologic factors gastroenteritis of children. Objectives: The aim this study was to determine prevalence rotavirus adenovirus among with diarrhoea admitted Abuzar Hospital Ahvaz (Southwest Iran). Patients Methods: In a descriptive, cross-sectional over 1 year (September 2009 August 2010), who were diagnosis studied. Stools examined ELISA...

In this study, by using clinical and paraclinical characteristics, we have aimed to predict the severity of disease in hospitalized COVID-19 children.This cross-sectional study was conducted on medical records about epidemiologic data, underlying diseases, symptoms, laboratory tests from March October, 2020, 238 confirmed paediatric cases several children's hospitals Tehran, Ahwaz, Isfahan, Bandar Abbas.From patients, 140 (59%) were male most them age group 1 5 years (34.6%). Among all 38%...
Background: Giardia lamblia is an enteric protozoan parasite, which infects human and a wide range of vertebrate hosts. Objectives: The aim this study was to investigate genotypes G. from children fecal samples in Ahvaz, South West Iran by PCR-RFLP method. Materials Methods: Fecal were collected 58 who positive for lamblia. DNA extractions performed QIAamp Stool Mini Kit. evaluated semi nested assay, targeting the glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) gene, used distinguish within between A B....
