“…During the study period, most of the referred patients were UC patients, and so only a very low number of CD subjects were included (n = 4). This actually coincides with most of the literature from worldwide, and Egypt (3,17,18). Moreover, in our study, among 54 positive intestinal parasites infected IBD, only one case was CD patient.…”

The global prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is continuously rising, however, a little is known concerning intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) and (IBD). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of IPIs among IBD patients, through a case-control study and also, to correlate the positive cases to the socio-demographic risk factors of IPIs among the study groups. A 1-year case-control study included patients with IBD (n=125) and healthy controls (n=125). The fecal samples were examined with the classical parasitological methods for intestinal parasites. Also, in-vitro culture (for Blastocystis sp.) and Immuno-chromatography technique (for Cryptosporidium / Giardia /Entamoeba) were done. IBD patients had significant higher positivity rate of IPIs compared to healthy controls (Adjusted OR= 9.60, 95% CI: 4.51-20.41, P = 0.0001), with Blastocystis sp., Entamoeba dispar/ histolytica and Cryptosporidium sp. being highly significant in IBD patients. In addition to IBD, living in rural area, with low socio-economic stander, and consumed raw/contaminated food and age group > 50 years old were significant risk factors for IPIs. In conclusion, our results support a possible link between IPIs and IBD.

“…While CD can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, UC is limited to the colonic mucosa (1,2). The clinical presentation may include bleeding per rectum, chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and weight loss (3).…”

“…In their study, Esmat et al 10 reported that most of their patients with UC presented with mild distal or left-sided colitis (approximately 85%), whereas 11.9% of the patients presented with a severe form of UC. This agrees to some extent with another study 8 based on the endoscopic diagnosis of UC, which showed that 27% of patients presented with severe UC.…”
