“…Asimismo, la desnutrición, senectud y ambientes húmedos del entorno favorecen la supervivencia de los quistes durante varias semanas y son factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de esta enfermedad. (45,46) Además, se describe que la desnutrición, senectud, e inmunodepresión, son factores de riesgo para desarrollar formas fulminantes, como es el caso que se presenta (47,48,49) Este paciente desarrolla complicaciones múltiples con perforaciones en colon sigmoides, tratado con resección y colostomía terminal. Finalmente fallece a pesar de recibir manejo médico y quirúrgico.…”

This study delved into the enteric protozoa of swine, their importance in swine production and as zoonoses. The lack of knowledge about them is a major problem facing pig production, mostly in backyard conditions associated with a low socio-cultural and sanitary level, the easy transmission between conspecifics and also to humans, producing economic losses and compromising human health in favorable hygienic conditions for the development of diseases. Searches were made in Scopus, Web of Science, Redalyc, EBSCO, Scielo and Google Scholar databases. A combination of search terms such as ("Protozoa" OR "gastrointestinal" OR "Zoonosis") AND ("Swine") AND ("Importance") and descriptors such as "Incidence" "Prevalence", "Pathogenesis", "Transmission" were used. The bibliography consulted showed that Balantidiosis and Cryptosporidiosis are among the most common gastrointestinal diseases produced by protozoa in pigs, causing infections at this level and transmission to humans through the consumption of contaminated food or water, direct contact with infected pigs and environmental contamination. The bibliography consulted showed that Balantidiosis and Cryptosporidiosis are among the most common gastrointestinal diseases caused by protozoa in pigs, causing infections at this level and transmission to humans through the consumption of contaminated food or water, direct contact with infected pigs and environmental contamination. The research reflected the wide worldwide distribution given in good measure by the resistance of these protozoa to adverse environmental conditions, direct and indirect transmission, vulnerability in immunologically and socioeconomically sensitive human populations, as well as economic losses in the swine industry. The paper concludes by reflecting on the impact of gastrointestinal protozoa on swine and public health, with the need to raise human awareness on hygienic sanitary measures and safe food and water consumption

“…Vasilakopoulou et al (2003) portray the fatal case of a patient with anal cancer, in addition to other associated comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension, presenting impairment of the immune system due to chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions, which was probably the cause of the exacerbation of pulmonary balantidiasis and consequent death. The study of Pamo et al (2013) reports four cases of patients infected with intestinal B. coli seen in hospitals in Lima, Peru. Among these, one patient had gastric cancer, and another was diagnosed with rectal carcinoma.…”

BALANTIDIUM COLI infection, immune status and comorbidities: literature review

Balantidiasis, a disease caused by the ciliated protozoan Balantidium coli, mainly infects thelarge intestine and may present intestinal spread. The purpose of this literature review was to study the infection by B. coli and comorbidities to identify the factors that can contribute to the establishment of the disease. In this review, we attempt to explore and describe the various comorbidities associated with B. coli infection. We reviewed the literature based on comorbidities with a focus on the association with B. coli infection. The primary platforms targeted were PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and Google Scholar. Studies published between 1990 and 2020 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish were considered. The comorbidities reported in the papers were diverse, associating infection by B. coli with the immunosuppression that they generate. The intestinal microbiota may also play an important role, because when dysbiosis is present, its composition and structure are affected, which may enable the invasion of the mucosa. The review shows that the presence of the parasite and establishment of balantidiasis can influence in the clinical stage of chronic and autoimmune diseases, considering themodulation of the immune response in presence of B. coli.KEY WORDS: Balantidium coli; autoimmunity; balantidiosis; comorbidities; immunodepression.
