Fecal calprotectin among patients infected with some protozoan infections

Incidence of Some Intestinal Parasites among Diabetic Patients Suffering from Gastroenteritis

“…This differs from the study carried out in the same province Kirkuk-Iraq (Salman et al, 2017), whom they recorded only five species of protozoan parasites among gastroenteritis patients. The records of helminthes as Strongyloides stercoralis is very vital because this parasite when entering the body as larvae will migrate to lung for development and maturation they cause damages to the tissue and in the intestine they cause diarrhea and participate in gastroenteritis.…”

“…In contrast high rate 27.41 % among workers might be attributed to their contact with water most like contain a high amount of waterborne parasite due to weak monitoring of water quality in this Province. Moreover, the rate 17.74 % among officer may reflect their consumption of prepared food (outdoor feeding) theses finding was compatible with that recorded by (Salman et al, 2017) and (Al-Bayati, 2011). However high rate 36.36 % of giardiasis among officer than in other occupations is critical for the health of DM patients, because it has been found that in Iraq most of giardia cases reveal resistance against anti-protozoan drugs (Salman and Mustafa, 2013).…”

“…Furthermore, the impact of the intestinal parasites was correlated by the estimation of fecal calprotectin among gastroenteritis patients by (Salman et al, 2017). According to our information; studies regarding the intestinal parasites in relation to diabetes in Iraq are absent particularly among gastroenteritis patients in Kirkuk Province.…”

Pre-and Post-treatment Evaluation of Intestinal Inflammation in Giardia and Blastocystis Infected Children: A Community-based Study 

“…Abnormally elevated FC levels were observed in the present study in few children (two infected with G. intestinalis and three with B. hominis. Similarly, A study in Iraq reported FC positive test results in 10 out of 47 G. intestinalis cases and in one out of 31 B. hominis positive samples (Salman et al 2017). In an Australian study, mild in ammation of the duodenal mucosa was observed in only 3.7% of 567 G. intestinalis patients ( Oberhuber et al 1997).…”

Study of Some Immunological Markers of People with Parasitic Infestation and their Relationship to Colorectal Cancer

“…This parasite invades the mucous membrane of the intestine and reaches To the epithelial layer which leads to the formation of calculus ulcers (20) upon parasitic infection, white blood cells multiply and calbrotectin is released, which activates the action of neutrophils in the intestinal lining, as it participates in the binding and adhesion of white blood cells to the intestinal lining, The effect of infection with the parasite on the blood level in general, especially white blood cells, where the percentage of hemoglobin is low in a person. Injured patients, and this decrease in the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood can be explained by the persistent diarrhea that affects the necessary elements such as iron, copper, and zinc (21) . Fecal calcprotectin (CF) is considered a vital indicator for the diagnosis of IBD but it is not accurate in the diagnosis, The calcipectin protein is profuse in the leukocytes of neutrophils as it is found in the epithelial cells of the intestine and in the monocytes and monocytes, and the level of calcipectin in the feces is proportional to the level of neutrophil in the gut (22) .…”
