| generation time and growth rate of the human intestinal parasite blastocystis hominis. | blastocystis hominis, an anaerobic intestinal protozoan parasite of man, has a generation time (gt) in axenic culture of 8.5-19.4 h. depending on the strain tested. average gt of the eight strains was 11.7 h. zero growth time cell counts of 5.0 x 10(5)/ml to 2.0 x 10(6)/ml rose in 3-5 days to 1 x 19(7) cells/ml. the gt was determined for the 24-hr period during which the most rapid growth occurred; about 2% of the b. hominis cells were in division during this time. division under the culture con ... | 1981 | 7198685 |
| [blastocystis hominis: morphological study using optical and electron microscopy]. | blastocystis hominis is a member of the phylum protozoa as described by zierdt et al. despite the complexity of its yet not well defined biological cycle, blastocystis was found to possess all the structures characterizing protozoans. the physiochemical and biological growth conditions are those of many protozoans. the high degree of cell differentiation is probably due to the existence of two reproduction modes. | 1983 | 6368020 |
| in vitro response of blastocystis hominis to antiprotozoal drugs. | ten antiprotozoal drugs were tested in vitro against four axenic strains of the intestinal parasite blastocystis hominis. inhibitory drugs in order of effectiveness were emetine, metronidazole, furazolidone, trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole, 5-chloro-8-hydroxy-7-iodo-quinoline (entero-vioform), and pentamidine. moderately inhibitory were two quinolines other than iodochlorhydroxquin. these were chloroquine and 5,7-diiodo-8-hydroxy-quinoline (floraquin). diloxanide furoate was not inhibitory. paromo ... | 1983 | 6631776 |

| cytochrome-free mitochondria of an anaerobic protozoan--blastocystis hominis. | isolated mitochondria of the anaerobic protozoan blastocystis hominis were subjected to spectral analysis, color, catalase, and peroxidase tests and found to be completely negative for cytochrome enzymes, catalase, and peroxide. based on the absence of cytochrome enzymes, the possible evolution of b. hominis mitochondria from anaerobic bacteria is postulated. | 1986 | 3959009 |
| blastocystis hominis: pathogen or fellow traveler? | blastocystis hominis, an intestinal organism of uncertain taxonomic position, has long been considered nonpathogenic. some recent studies suggest, however, that it may be associated with diarrhea and may respond to treatment with iodoquinol or metronidazole. to investigate this possibility, we identified 148 persons whose stools contained this organism. of this number, 32 had at least 6 stool examinations performed. twenty-seven of the 32 persons were later found to have greater than or equal to ... | 1986 | 3766850 |
| parasitological observations of chronic diarrhoea in suspected aids adult patients in kinshasa (zaire). | the parasitological profile of chronic diarrhoea in 46 zairian adults suspected of aids demonstrated that the frequency of protozoa was five times higher than that of helminths; 86% of the protozoa were sporozoa: isospora belli was the most frequent (19%), followed by cryptosporidium isolated for the first time in zaire (8%) and blastocystis hominis (2%). 37 of the 46 patients were immunodeficient. | 1986 | 3787692 |

| epidemiology and clinical features associated with blastocystis hominis infection. | a retrospective chart review was performed on 100 patients infected with blastocystis hominis (bh) and 50 randomly selected age and sex matched controls to examine the clinical and epidemiologic features associated with this organism. the finding of greater than 5 bh per oil immersion field (1,000 x) was significantly associated with acute presentation of symptoms but was not predictive of the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms. of patients infected with bh, 57.5% had recently travelled to th ... | 1987 | 3449317 |
| cryptosporidiosis in ogun state, south-west nigeria. | during the period of one month in the rainy season in ogun state in south-west nigeria 479 stool samples (420 of which were diarrhoea stool samples) were examined for cryptosporidiosis. oocysts were detected in 2.3% of all stools, in 2.6% of diarrhoeal stools and in 5.3% out of 150 children with diarrhoea. cryptosporidium was the sole pathogen detected in six of 11 cases. in addition to cryptosporidia also entamoeba histolytica, blastocystis hominis, giardia lamblia, ascaris lumbricoides, and tr ... | 1987 | 3602839 |
| blastocystis hominis: evidence for human pathogenicity and effectiveness of metronidazole therapy. | 1. clinical symptoms and oral treatment with metronidazole were studied in 103 patients with pure infections by blastocystis hominis. 2. the results showed that excessive flatulence is the chief gastrointestinal symptom associated occasionally with diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. all the patients showed good responses with treatment of metronidazole and 74 patients whose stools were reexamined 1-2 months after the treatment demonstrated no signs of infections. 3. it is concluded that b. hominis ... | 1987 | 3665198 |
| light-microscopical appearance and ultrastructure of blastocystis hominis, an intestinal parasite of man. | a study on blastocystis hominis was undertaken for the purpose of clarifying the morphology of the organism using the following techniques; giemsa, heidenhain iron hematoxylin, and dapi stains, phase-contrast microscopy, and transmission- and scanning-electron microscopy. microscopic examinations of the lumen fluids aspirated at the endoscopical examination revealed the habitation of b. hominis in the lower ileum and cecum of a patient. when examined light-microscopically, organisms from stool m ... | 1987 | 3660977 |
| diarrhea due to blastocystis hominis: an old organism revisited. | we have reported a case of diarrhea caused by blastocystis hominis, an intestinal protozoan parasite of man. the organism is present in small numbers in up to one fifth of stool samples in hospitalized patients, but is associated with diarrhea in only heavily infested patients. typical symptoms include diarrhea, crampy abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever, gas, malaise, and chills. fecal leukocytes are occasionally seen. the pathophysiologic mechanism of the diarrhea is not clear. n ... | 1987 | 3603119 |

| presumptive evidence for blastocystis hominis as a cause of colitis. | a patient with persistent diarrhea was found to have biopsy-proved colitis with large numbers of the protozoan blastocystis hominis present in stool. extensive evaluation failed to reveal any other potential etiologic agent of acute colitis. following treatment with a course of metronidazole, the patient became asymptomatic, b hominis was no longer present in stool, and results of a repeated biopsy were normal. these observations are consistent with the role of b hominis as a gastrointestinal pa ... | 1988 | 3365077 |
| etiology of diarrhea among travelers and foreign residents in nepal. | a bacterial pathogen was isolated from 47% of 328 expatriate patients with diarrhea seen at two medical clinics in nepal in 1986. enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (24%), shigella (14%), and campylobacter species (9%) were isolated most frequently. enteroinvasive and adherence factor-positive e coli were isolated from 2% and 1% of patients, respectively. giardia lamblia was detected in 12% of patients, rotavirus in 8%, and cryptosporidium and entamoeba histolytica each in 5%. blastocystis hominis ... | 1988 | 3404637 |
| biochemical and ultrastructural study of blastocystis hominis. | this study was prompted by the paradox of strong presence of mitochondria in an anaerobic protozoan, recently reclassified from the yeasts. stemming from publication in 1911 to 1912, blastocystis hominis has been generally accepted as a harmless intestinal yeast of humans, with short standardized textbook (parasitology) descriptions, even to the present day. reports since 1967 have changed the classification of b. hominis from yeast to protozoan (sarcodina), and this has been followed by interes ... | 1988 | 2838509 |
| [blastocystis hominis--intestinal parasite or commensal?]. | blastocystis hominis has long been classified among blastomycetes. it was considered to be an apathogenous fungal organism which was very frequently detected in routine stool examinations. following the first studies with an electronic microscope in 1967, zierdt et al. (34) classified blastocystis hominis among the protozoa. since then, there have been increasingly frequent reports that blastocystis hominis can be an important cause of intestinal diseases especially diarrhea. for a definite taxo ... | 1988 | 3059694 |
| blastocystis hominis, a long-misunderstood intestinal parasite. | for over 50 years, blastocystis hominis has been held to be a harmless intestinal yeast-probably frequent in stool samples from man and other primates, but usually ignored except as a possible source of confusion with entamoeba histolytica. more recently, its status as a protozoan parasite has been accepted, and it is now increasingly recognized as an agent of intestinal disease - usually self-limiting but occasionally fatal in monkeys. here, charles zierdt reviews the status o f this intriguing ... | 1988 | 15462991 |
| questionable clinical significance of blastocystis hominis infection. | in the period from january 1986 to july 1988, blastocystic hominis was found in moderate and numerous quantities in 103 (1.6%) of 6,262 stool specimens examined in our laboratory. there was no significant association of the detection of b. hominis with travel history or symptoms. indeed, 20 patients (36%) with moderate to heavy infections had no gastrointestinal symptoms, and three symptomatic patients did not show clinical improvement after elimination of the parasite. reexamination of stool sa ... | 1989 | 2596457 |
| blastocystis hominis--a potential intestinal pathogen. | the parasite blastocystis hominis has been found in 10% to 18% of stool specimens submitted to microbiology laboratories. controversy exists as to whether this organism can cause illness in humans. we have reviewed the records of 65 symptomatic patients with b hominis in their stool. we conclude that b hominis is a potential pathogen that may or may not require drug therapy depending on the overall clinical circumstances, the severity of symptoms, and the presence of other pathogenic organisms. | 1989 | 2603418 |
| chromosomes of blastocystis hominis. | three stocks of blastocystis hominis were adapted to monophasic culture in minimal essential medium (mem) and the chromosomes of these stocks separated by field inversion gel electrophoresis (fige). ten-twelve chromosomes were distinguished in the electrophoretic karyotype of these three stocks over the range 200 kilobase pairs to greater than 1 megabase pairs. the karyotype of each stock was different. three dna probes, b10, b30 and b31, derived from the netsky stock isolated in america were us ... | 1989 | 2635163 |
| blastocystis hominis: phylogenetic affinities determined by rrna sequence comparison. | in 1912 blastocystis hominis was identified as a new species and classified as a yeast (brumpt 1912). in the early 1920s several groups confirmed its classification as a yeast, specifically a member of the genus schizosaccharomyces (discussed by zierdt et al. 1967). apart from an occasional case report, the classification of b. hominis and its role as a harmless intestinal yeast was not questioned for another 50 years. then, zierdt (1967) suggested that it should be classified in the phylum prot ... | 1989 | 2649390 |
| ultrastructural variation of blastocystis hominis stocks in culture. | an ultrastructural study of 10 different blastocystis hominis stocks was undertaken. three distinct morphological forms, vacuolar, granular and amoeboid, were distinguished. numerous variations in the organelles and general cell structure were observed between stocks. b. hominis displayed considerable size variation in the vacuolar forms, ranging from 4 to 63 micron. thickness and density of the surface coat varied between different stocks. beneath the surface coat the bilaminar cell membrane di ... | 1989 | 2707962 |
