| histopathology of hepatic amoebiasis in guinea-pigs infected through intracaecal and intramesenteric routes. | the comparative histopathological details of amoebic liver abscess were studied following intracaecal and intramesenteric inoculation of entamoeba histolytica into guinea-pigs. the histological changes of amoebic liver abscess formed via the former route were similar to those seen in man. these consisted of a central necrotic area with few lymphomononuclear cells and e. histolytica trophozoites at the periphery of the lesion. the amoebic liver abscess formed via the intramesenteric route, howeve ... | 1985 | 4035733 |
| a mouse model for entamoeba histolytica infection. | 2 strains of entamoeba histolytica, saw 760 and saw 408 (non-invasive zymodeme ix and invasive zymodeme ii respectively, sargeaunt & williams 1979) were administered intra-intestinally to 15 inbred and 3 outbred strains of mouse. all were known to be free of the mouse amoeba e. muris. during the investigation, all animals were maintained in plastic film isolator units, under gnotobiotic conditions. both zymodemes were found to be capable of infecting all 18 strains of mice for varying periods of ... | 1985 | 4068657 |

| intestinal parasites in kampuchea, takeo province. | fresh stool samples obtained from 1407 adult patients who sought treatment in takeo province hospital and 332 takeo preschool and school-age children from 3 to 18 years of age were examined for the presence of intestinal parasites using the technique of native preparation and the flotation method of faust with subsequent staining with lugol solution to demonstrate cysts. in hospital patients, a total of 13 protozoan and 9 helminth species were diagnosed. the prevalence of entamoeba histolytica ( ... | 1985 | 4086816 |
| experimental amoebiasis in the guinea-pig: sequential histological abnormalities following intracaecal injection of entamoeba histolytica. | the histological abnormalities of amoebic colitis have been well described but their evolution over a period of time has not been clearly examined. to study this, three- to four-week-old guinea-pigs were inoculated intracaecally with 80,000 to 100,000 entamoeba histolytica trophozoites, left untreated and killed at 3, 5, 8, 11, 14 and 21 days, when the caecum was removed and the tissue sectioned and stained with h & e and pas. although there was considerable variation in the type of histological ... | 1985 | 4095744 |
| [gastrointestinal manifestations of aids]. | we studied 26 cases of digestive manifestation in aids. the 26 patients were divided into two different epidemiological groups: 13 homosexual men, constituted the first group; no homosexual patient was in the second group which included 6 haitians, 6 africans and a pakistanian. the clinical manifestation were: a watery chronical diarrhea in 17 cases a bloody diarrhea in 2 cases; a loss of weight in the 26 cases; a dysphagia in five cases; a jaundice in one patient (due to kaposi sarcoma of the a ... | 1985 | 4096504 |
