molecular appraisal of intestinal parasitic infection in transplant recipients.	diarrhoea is the main clinical manifestation caused by intestinal parasitic infections in patients, with special reference to transplant recipients who require careful consideration to reduce morbidity and mortality. further, molecular characterization of some important parasites is necessary to delineate the different modes of transmission to consider appropriate management strategies. we undertook this study to investigate the intestinal parasitic infections in transplant recipients with or wi ...	2016	27934806
prevalence of intestinal coccidial infections among different groups of immunocompromised patients.	cryptosporidium and isospora are known as one of the main cause of diarrhea in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised subjects, all over the world. incidence of enteropathogens such as cryptosporidium spp. and isospora belli considerably has increased, since immunodeficiency virus (hiv) rapidly disseminated. in addition, cancer patients are highly susceptible to opportunistic infections. this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis and isosporiasis in immunocompromised pa ...	2017	28127338
cystoisosporiasis-related human acalculous cholecystitis: the need for increased awareness.	cholecystitis is one of the common surgical indications affecting human beings in many countries. a variety of infectious agents can be associated with acute or chronic acalculous cholecystitis, especially in hiv/aids patients. in this investigation, the authors aim to describe two cases of histologically and molecularly documented cystoisosporiasis (syn. isosporiasis) as the cause of chronic acalculous cholecystitis in two immunodeficient patients. during microscopic examinations of more than 2 ...	2016	28155976
parasitic contamination of raw vegetables and fruits collected from selected local markets in arba minch town, southern ethiopia.	one way that people get infected with intestinal parasites is through the consumption of contaminated vegetables and fruits. this study aimed at determining the prevalence and predictors of parasitic contamination of fruits and vegetables collected from four local markets in arba minch town, southern ethiopia.	2017	28264707
occurrence of enteric parasitic infections among hiv-infected individuals and its relation to cd4 t-cell counts with a special emphasis on coccidian parasites at a tertiary care centre in south india.	diarrhoea is one of the major complications occurring in over 90% of hiv-infected individuals in developing countries. coccidian group of parasites, being opportunistic pathogens, have been implicated as the most common causative agents of diarrhoea among hiv-infected population.	2017	28303816
coccidian intestinal parasites among immunocompetent children presenting with diarrhea: are we missing them?	diarrhoea is an important cause of both morbidity and mortality among children in india. coccidian parasitic infections are an important cause of diarrhea in immunocompromised patients, but their investigations are rarely sought by the treating physicians in seemingly immunocompetent children. this study was aimed to find the incidence rate of coccidian parasites in all children presented with diarrhoea, irrespective of their immune status.	2017	28459013
intestinal parasitic infections and its association with undernutrition and cd4 t cell levels among hiv/aids patients on haart in butajira, ethiopia.	intestinal parasitic infections and hiv/aids have been the major public health problems and remain a vital cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. both problems are linked in a vicious cycle. the magnitude of intestinal parasites was prevalent among people living with hiv/aids even in the haart era. however, the pertinent risk factors associated with intestinal parasites among hiv/aids patients were not well investigated in ethiopia particularly at butajira town. therefore, the ...	2017	28506307
