[isosporiasis in an elderly patient with chronic diseases: case report].isospora belli is a coccidian protozoon that can cause serious diarrhea especially in immunocompromised patients. the laboratory diagnosis depends primarily on the identification of oocysts in stool specimens by direct microscopic examination with iodine or special stains. this case is presented in order to draw attention to isosporiasis among the diarrheas that can be seen in elderly patients with several chronic diseases. a 81 year-old debilitated male, who had a history of hypertension, alzhe ...201324192629
enteric pathogens, immune status and therapeutic response in diarrhea in hiv/aids adult subjects from north india.intestinal infection causing diarrheal disease is a dominant contributor to high morbidity and mortality in developing countries. this intervention study aimed to assess the response of specific anti-microbial and anti-retroviral therapy (art) on enteropathogens identified in hiv/aids adult subjects from northern india. seventy five art naive (group 1) and seventy five art adherent (group 2) hiv/aids adult subjects with diarrhea were enrolled. stool samples from all subjects were examined for en ...201323968293
cystoisospora canis (apicomplexa: sarcocystidae): development of monozoic tissue cysts in human cells, demonstration of egress of zoites from tissue cysts, and demonstration of repeat monozoic tissue cyst formation by zoites.sporozoites of cystoisospora canis penetrated and developed to monozoic tissue cysts in 4 human, 1 monkey, 1 bovine and 2 canine cell lines. no asexual division was documented although multiple infection of a single cell was observed. examination of cultures using transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that they were monozoic tissue cysts and contained a single sporozoite. the appearance of monozoic tissue cysts in all cell lines was similar but the parasitophorous vacuole surrounding som ...201323953145
differences in the detection of cryptosporidium and isospora (cystoisospora) oocysts according to the fecal concentration or staining method used in a clinical laboratory.despite the availability of many parasitological methods for detection of cryptosporidium and isospora (cystoisospora) belli in fecal samples, there are uncertainties about the accuracy of these techniques in laboratory practice. in this study, 27 formalin-fixed positive stool samples for cryptosporidium and 15 for i. belli were analyzed by 2 concentration methods, sedimentation by centrifugation (sc) and formalin-ethyl acetate (fe), and by 3 tintorial techniques, modified ziehl-neelsen (zn), sa ...201323829170
isospora belli infection with chronic diarrhea in an alcoholic patient.chronic diarrhea with a 35 kg weight loss (75 kg to 40 kg) occurred during 2 years in an alcoholic patient was diagnosed with isospora belli infection in the republic of korea. the patient, a 70-year old korean male, had been a heavy drinker for more than 30 years. he was admitted to the seoul national university hospital because of long-standing diarrhea and severe weight loss. he had an increased white blood cell (wbc) count with high peripheral blood eosinophilia (36.8-39.9%) and lowered prot ...201323710089
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 ...201728506307
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.201728459013
