“…Detection of S. stercoralis , Cryptosporidium sp. and C. belli in 3.8% of the fecal samples of patients with HIV/ AIDS was lower than the prevalence reported by Soúza-Junior and Garcia-Zapata 29 , 30 in a similar study conducted in Goiânia, Goiás . It is important to note that there are few studies on the prevalence of intestinal parasites, including S. stercoralis and intestinal coccidia, in patients with HIV/ AIDS in the State of Goiás - this is the first study carried out in the Southwestern region of this State.…”

Patients infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) often have opportunistic infections, among which strongyloidiasis and coccidiosis are the most common parasitic infections that aggravate their health status. This study examined the prevalence of intestinal parasites, particularly of Strongyloides stercoralis and intestinal coccidia in patients with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/ Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) who were treated at the Specialized Assistance Service (SAE) of Jataí, State of Goiás, Brazil, and analyzed its correlation with clinical, laboratory, and socio-epidemiological parameters. A total of 270 stool samples were analyzed by the Lutz technique, Rugai’s method, Agar Plate Culture, Ritchie’s method and specific staining, Ziehl-Neelsen modified technique, Kinyoun’s method and the rapid safranin method. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was 28.88% including 3.8% of S. stercoralis, Cryptosporidium sp. and Cystoisospora belli. There was a significant positive correlation between intestinal parasites and the clinical status and the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART), smoking, CD4+ lymphocyte counts and sexual orientation. In conclusion, the widespread use of antiretroviral therapy and health assistance contributed to the low prevalence of S. stercoralis and coccidiosis in patients with HIV/ AIDS who were followed up at the SAE.

“…In the present study, Blastocystis positivity by microscopic examination of 12.1% and 7.9% were observed in the diabetic and the control group, respectively. This positivity was lower in previous studies 12 , 23 and higher in others 11 , 13 , 14 carried out in the Midwest region of Brazil. In addition, Bafghi et al .…”

“…is little known, especially in patients with diabetes 1 , 5 . Studies carried out in the Midwest region of Brazil indicate positivity ranging from 0.5 to 40.9% for Blastocystis sp., but none of them analyzed patients with diabetes 11 - 14 . Here, we present data on the occurrence and on the molecular identification of Blastocystis sp.…”

“…Microsporidian spores were also identified in 1.3% of immunosuppressed patients in the city of Goiânia (Goiás, Brazil) (de Souza Jr & García-Zapata 2006), and in 36% of rheumatic disease patients undergoing anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy/anti-rheumatic drug treatment as compared to 4% of controls without diarrhoea (Aikawa et al 2011). In 2013, Costa et al (2013) described high positivity (40.3%) for microsporidia in patients who underwent transplantation surgery in the University Clinical Hospital, including bone marrow (75%), kidney (22%), and liver (3%) transplantation.…”

BACKGROUND Enterocytozoon bieneusi are the most common microsporidia associated with different clinical manifestations such as diarrhoea, respiratory tract inflammation and acalculous cholecystitis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Infection usually occurs by ingestion of food and water contaminated with spores, but can also result from direct contact with spores through broken skin, eye lesions, and sexual transmission, depending on the microsporidian species. Although there are reports of E. bieneusi found in humans and animals in Brazil, there are no published studies of environmental samples examined by molecular methods.OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to verify the presence of E. bieneusi in raw sewage and treated effluent from a combined system by molecular methods.METHODS Raw sewage and treated effluent samples collected from a combined system were analysed for the presence of E. bieneusi using the internal transcriber spacer (ITS) region of E. bieneusi by nested polymerase chain reaction.FINDINGS The analysis revealed E. bieneusi presence and a novel genotype (EbRB) in one raw sewage sample and one treated effluent.MAIN CONCLUSIONS The presence of E. bieneusi in final effluent indicates that the combined system may not remove microsporidian spores. This study is the first report of E. bieneusi in environmental samples in Brazil.
