Abstract The evolution of parasite resistance to antiparasitic agents has become a serious health issue indicating critical and pressing need develop new therapeutics that can conquer drug resistance. Nanoparticles are novel, promising emerging carriers have demonstrated efficiency in treating many parasitic diseases. Lately, attention been drawn broad-spectrum nanoparticle capable converting absorbed light into heat via the photothermal effect phenomenon. present study is first assess...
Background: Since genotypic variation of H. pylori is associated with the existence virulence factors, different genotypes and subtypes Cryptosporidium spp. have been responsible for human cryptosporidiosis. Objective: To investigate usefulness multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to analyze genetic diversity co-infection in diarrheic immunocompetent Egyptian children. The secondary objective determine detection rate each pathogen, rate, as well its factors. Subjects Methods: This...
Abstract Background Most studies on gastroenteritis have focused viral and bacterial infections, while where intestinal protozoan parasites may played a role has not been well studied. This study was therefore, designed to assess the frequency several potential risk factors for Cryptosporidium infection among children suffering from acute presented tertiary hospital in Cairo, Egypt. Effectiveness of modified Ziehl–Neelsen (MZN) nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) detection were evaluated...
Abstract Blastocystis hominis (Blastocystis) is a common intestinal protist found in humans and various animals globally. Although its implications for health diseases remains controversial, it has been suggested to be associated with gastrointestinal disorders, including abdominal pain diarrhea, as well cutaneous lesions such urticaria. While metronidazole (MTZ) the primary treatment blastocystosis, accompanied by several adverse effects. This underscores pressing need safe therapeutic...
Background: Giardiasis is one of the leading causes diarrhea, particularly among children under age five in developing countries. Fecal calprotectin (FC) an important biomarker for diagnosis and monitoring inflammtory bowel disease, but other diagnoses should be considered light its elevation. We aimed to evaluate FC level patients diagnosed with giardiasis elucidate a possible correlation between Giardia genotypes levels. Methods: Overall, 120 fecal samples were collected from aged 4-12...
New infectious agents pose a global threat to the healthcare system, and studies are conducted estimate their health epidemiological outcomes in long run. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has caused COVID-19 disease, was formerly assumed be respiratory virus; however, it can have serious systemic effects, affecting organs such as gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Viral RNA reported stool subset of patients, indicating another mode transmission diagnosis. In COVID-19, prolonged GIT symptoms,...
Background: Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular organisms that can infect all animals including man causing disease in both immunocompetent individuals and immunosuppressed patients.The most common microsporidia gastrointestinal infection worldwide Enterocytozoon bieneusi Encephalitozoon intestinalis.Objectives: The present study was designed with the aim estimating rate diarrheic children evaluation different staining techniques nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for...
Background: Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is a widespread neglected zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (E.granulosus s. l) that occurs in most parts world.Egypt considered one countries where CE represents public health concern and so far, few studies were done for molecular characterization E. granulosus. Aim work: The aim present work was to use polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) targeting...
Malnutrition accounts for high morbidity and mortality in children.Specifically, linear growth failure (stunting) has long-term consequences.It affects approximately 25% of children under the age five worldwide been linked to increased mortality, cognitive dysfunction, productivity loss.Understanding that a significant proportion stunting is not caused solely by lack nutrition, diarrhea, repeated exposure intestinal infections implies other factors must be analyzed clarify continued...
