“…In the present study, of the 156 diabetic patients 42.9% were males & 57.1% were females with ages ranged from 15-60 years, showed parasites more in the age group 45-60. This agreed with both Ali et al (2018) and Waly et al (2021), they reported that the highest percentage of intestinal parasites was in diabetic patients over 40 years old. They explained that the weak immune system that accompanies aging linked to diabetic status increased the parasitic complications.…”

“…They recorded that G. lamblia, E. histolytica/dispar, Cryptosporidium spp., and H. nana were detected in 22%, 7%, 5%, and 5% respectively. Also, Ali et al (2018) 2019) detected an overall rate of (27%), which were C. parvum, B. hominis, G. lamblia, and H. nana, and added that opportunistic protozoa was significantly greater than helminthes (P 0.001). Moreover, Rady et al, (2019), recorded that the overall parasitic detection rate was 45.2%.…”

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a hyperglycemic state wherein the patient has a high level of blood glucose. People with diabetes are vulnerable to infection with opportunistic intestinal parasites as it is considered a state of immune suppression.The study evaluated the opportunistic protozoa co-infected with Helicobacter pylori among 156 DM patients and estimated the risk factors. Early morning stool samples were obtained from each participant and examined for H. pylori and intestinal protozoa. The overall rate of protozoa was 79.5% (124/156), which were Blastocystis hominis, Cryptosporidium parvum and Isospora belli were detected in 13.5%, 29.5%, &16.7% respectively. Giardia intestinalis and Entamoeba histolytica/dispar were in 9% & 8.3% respectively. The overall rate of H. pylori was 19.9%, and its co-infection with I. belli, C. parvum, E. histolytica/dispar, G. intestinalis was 6.4%, 32.2%, 12.9% & 9.6% respectively. A significant relation was between H. pylori and diarrhea (P <0.001), C. parvum and abdominal pain (P=0.001), diarrhea (P <0.001), and animal contact (P <0.001), but I. belli showed a significant association with diarrhea (P = 0.002), flatulence (P = 0.027), and animal contact (P = 0.002).

“…Overall, the prevalence of intestinal parasites in the control group (23.5%) was higher than the patient group (10%) (8). Altogether, our data were similar to studies of Nazligul et al in Turkey, Ali et al in Egypt, and Akinbo et al in Nigeria (3,14,15).…”

Background: Parasitic diseases are medically important, especially among immunocompromised patients. Recently, diabetes mellitus (DM) has become one of the most important clinical diseases, and the combination of this disease with parasitic infections can result in serious consequences. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the infection of intestinal parasites in patients with DM and compare them with healthy individuals in Fasa city and surrounding health centers. Methods: In this case-control study a total of 501 patients and healthy individuals (254 patients with DM and 247 healthy controls) referred to health centers in Fasa, Fars province. Fecal specimens of all of these individuals were collected in a special container. These specimens were investigated using direct smear, concentration method, acid-fast and trichrome staining, agar plate cultivation, and Baermann technique. Results: In this study, 254 diabetic patients (50.7%) and 247 (49.3%) healthy controls were included. The age range of these people was between 25 to 89 years old, with an average age of 57.7 ± 10.7. Our findings revealed that the frequency of intestinal parasites in the control group (18.6%) is higher than the patient group (12.6%). Conclusions: Although the frequency of intestinal parasites in the control group was higher than the patient group, this does not reduce the importance of preventative programs for these patients. Considering the significant effect of unpurified water on intestinal parasites, it is better to consider this issue more in health programs.
