| acute human isosporiasis in thailand: a case report. | a case of acute human isosporiasis in thailand was reported. a 57-year-old man developed diarrhoea after prednisolone administration for the management of nephrotic syndrome. stool examination revealed numerous isospora oocysts. on the basis of parasite morphology and sporulation time, it was identified as isospora belli wenyon, 1923. the patient recovered for the diarrhoea without specific treatment. | 1987 | 3660061 |
| [diarrhea and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in the tropics (tropical aids). the place of digestive endoscopic examinations in diagnosing opportunistic infections]. | a.i.d.s. has revealed some parasitic, microbiotic, mycotic or viral diseases causing diarrhea or has given a revival of interest to them. so are cryptosporidium, isospora belli, salmonella typhi murium, cytomegalovirus. some easy techniques lead to the diagnosis of some pathogenic agents, such as parasitologic diagnosis of cryptosporidium. some other pathogenic agents call for a biopsy in view of an histopathology test: it is the case of cytomegalovirus of which the diagnosis is stated positivel ... | 1987 | 3670029 |
| gastrointestinal manifestations of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. | in addition to abnormalities in systemic immune function, patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) and the pre-aids syndromes have significant abnormalities in the distribution of t-cell subsets in the intestinal tract. such immune deficits predispose such patients to opportunistic infections and tumors, many of which involve the gastrointestinal tract. for example, candida albicans often causes stomatitis and esophagitis. intestinal infections with parasites (cryptosporidium, ... | 1987 | 3825111 |
| disseminated extraintestinal isosporiasis in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. | this report describes a 38-year-old male homosexual with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids) and a history of isospora belli infestation treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. at autopsy, intracellular and extracellular i. belli organisms were identified in the mucosa and lamina propria of small and large intestine as well as in mesenteric and tracheobronchial lymph nodes, where an associated granulomatous reaction was also present. until now, isosporiasis has been observed as intrac ... | 1987 | 3826017 |

| [isospora belli coccidiosis in immunocompetent subjects (a study of 40 cases seen in paris)]. | 35 of the 40 cases with isospora belli infection were from france: 33 patients presenting with "travellers diarrhoea" were infected abroad (especially in tropical africa and the middle east) but 7 were infected in france itself. charcot-leyden crystals were found together with i. belli oocysts in the stools of 35 subjects. 61% of the cases presented with hypereosinophilia of between 6 and 20%. the average eosinophilia was 7.6% or 649/mm3. | 1988 | 3180320 |
| persistent diarrhoea in zairian aids patients: an endoscopic and histological study. | to determine the aetiology of persistent diarrhoea in african patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids), 42 patients with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and persistent diarrhoea were enrolled in a microbiological, endoscopic, and histological study. cryptosporidium was the intestinal parasite most often identified (30%); isospora belli was found in 12% of the patients. histological examination of the duodenal mucosa showed a non-specific inflammatory reaction in a significantly ... | 1988 | 3220308 |
| isospora belli infection: treatment with pyrimethamine. | isosporiasis is an uncommon but important diarrheal disease of humans that, like cryptosporidiosis, is life-threatening in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids). isospora belli infection responds rapidly to therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, but patients with aids have a high rate of adverse reactions to this therapy. the cases of two patients with aids, sulfonamide allergy, and i. belli infection are reported. they were treated successfully with pyrimethamine alon ... | 1988 | 3261956 |
| [11 cases of isosporiasis (isospora belli) in patients with aids]. | the study of 11 cases of isosporiasis (isospora belli) shows that this opportunistic coccidia, alone or with cryptosporidium, causes severe prolonged diarrhoea which worsens the prognosis and evolution of aids patients. a low prevalence (0.7%) is found in subjects from tropical regions. the results of treatment are disappointing. bactrim is the only drug found to be effective but prolonged parasitological surveillance is required to detect the frequent relapses, and assess the long-time usefulne ... | 1988 | 3262019 |
| [opportunistic parasitic diseases and mycoses in aids. their frequencies in brazzaville (congo)]. | to determine the frequency of opportunistic parasitic and mycotic diseases in adult aids patients in the congo, a study was conducted at l'hôpital universitaire de brazzaville in 1986 and 1987. diagnosis of aids was made using the who clinical definition for africa (bangui, 1985) and hiv seropositivity pasteur elisa test. oral pharyngeal candidiasis occurred in 36% of cases. intestinal parasitic profile found in 118 patients, 2/3 of whom were associated with chronic diarrhoea showed clearly rela ... | 1988 | 3263218 |
