Chronic urticaria is an important diagnostic and therapeutic problem. We aimed to investigate the sero-prevalence of tissue parasites causing toxocariasis fasciolosis in patients with chronic urticaria. All cases were analyzed for antibodies against Toxocara canis Fasciola hepatica by modified (homemade) ELISA. The excretory/secretory products used as antigens (ES-ELISA) test. In this study, highest seropositivity (29.0%) rate (14.5%) found Fasciolosis total was significantly higher than...
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...
Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data were collected during an outbreak of trichinellosis, which occurred in Izmir, Turkey, between January March 2004. The source the infection was raw meatballs made with a mixture uncooked beef pork. Of 474 persons who admitted at Ataturk Training Research Hospital this period history meatball consumption, diagnosis trichinellosis confirmed for 154 (32.5 %, 87 males 67 females; mean age 31 years, range 6-67 years). Among diagnosis, 79 % had myalgia,...
Fascioliasis is an important zoonotic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica. This zoonosis may cause serious morbidity and a considerable financial burden. Knowledge about hepatica interest in this parasite have increased Turkey recently. However, there been few studies on the real prevalence of condition country. Therefore, we aimed to determine fascioliasis role family history transmission province Mersin.Taking account their populations, 729 people without 155 with from city Mersin randomly...
InTRoDuCTIonParasitic infections of the gastrointestinal (Gı) tract are significant causes morbidity and mortality.Although they particularly more common in underdeveloped regions with poor sanitary conditions, prevalent throughout whole world.Clinical presentation may vary depending on parasite type affected parts Gı tract.Parasites can survive for years without causing any symptoms.However, occasionally cause serious clinical presentations.Although a diagnostic approach be made grounds,...
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar (AE) caused by Echinococcus granulosus multilocularis, respectively, are important helminthic diseases worldwide as well in our country. Epidemiological studies conducted Turkey showed that the prevalence of CE is 291-585/100.000. It has also been seroprevalence AE 3.5%. For diagnosis AE, radiological (ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance) serological methods, addition to clinical findings, being used. The definitive relies on...
ABSTRACT Antibodies against Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes were screened by immunoblotting sera from patients with alveolar echinococcosis ( n = 39), cystic 109), or other parasitic infections 66) and healthy individuals 32). Two antigens, approximately 70 90 kDa, are found to be valuable for confirmatory diagnosis, a sensitivity specificity of 100 99.51%, respectively.
Purpose: We report six cases of Alveolar Hydatid Disease (five in the liver and one gastrosplenic ligament invading spleen) which curative resection cases) splenectomy (one case) were performed. Material Methods: The records patients with AHD retrospectively evaluated. Demographics patients, symptoms, laboratory findings, including serology recorded. Imaging studies determined extent disease preoperatively. Classification lesions was done according to PNM (P = parasitic mass liver, N...
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite. The objective of the present study was to examine behaviour RH Ankara strain tachyzoites in a cell culture environment. represents first step determining whether T. tachyzoites, grown culture, are sufficient quality allow cessation vivo tachyzoite production for diagnostic assays. In study, were continuously produced myeloma X63.Ag8.653, HeLa, Hep-2, and Vero cultures 2 months. average size 3×5·7 μm prior inoculation but...
Aim: In this study our aim was to analyse the seroprevalence of cystic echinococcosis and prevalence lesions (with abdominal ultrasonography) in a group young adult university students staying state dormitory Bornova, İzmir, Turkey. Materials methods: The consisted 750 (360 women, 390 men, mean age 20.92 ± 1.82 years, min 17, max 29). Informed written consent obtained from each student they were requested fill questionnaire form (sociocultural economic condition, area living, demographic...
