BACKGROUNDHaematological malignancies like leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma originate in the bone marrow, lymph nodes which may be acute and chronic. These patients receive immunosuppressive agents, which put them at increased risk of infections, especially due to intestinal parasites. Parasitic infections if not diagnosed early may give rise to morbidity and mortality, more so if these infections remain asymptomatic, such patients pose a threat to others in the community. Hence, early diagnosis of intestinal parasitic infections is mandatory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
