Background: Amoebiasis; a parasitic infection caused by E. histolytica protozoon, is still a major public health in developing countries. Delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to fatality. So, rapid and accurate diagnosis plays a critical role in patient’s management. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of immunochromatographic test (ICT) using RIDA®QUICK Entamoeba test compared with traditional microscopic examination as gold standard for the diagnosis of E. histolytica /dispar infection. Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients complaining of dysentery or diarrhea with an age range of 3-62 years, attending Sohag University Hospitals and Endemic Diseases Hospital. All stool samples were examined by direct wet smears, formalin ethyl acetate concentration techniques, staining of the smears using Wiegert’s iron hematoxylin and Modified Ziehl-Neelsen method. Copro-antigen detection in stool sample was by using RIDA®QUICK Entamoeba test. Results: Microscopic examination revealed 43 out of 100 patients (43%) were positives for E. histolytica/dispar. The infection was significantly associated with residence (P value < 0.036) and family size (P value < 0.03) but not associated with gender (P value < 0.471) and age (P value < 0.344). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of Rida®Quick Entamoeba tests were 97.67%, 96.49%, 95.45% and 98.21% respectively with an accuracy of 97%. There was no cross-reactivity with other intestinal parasites.Conclusions: Rida® Quick Entamoeba test is a simple, rapid, convenient, sensitive and specific assay for the diagnosis amebiasis and is therefore very suitable for large-scale field applications.

“…In the present study, the intestinal infections in CKD patients were 66% (25 with nephritis & 41on dialysis) was highly significant (p< 0.005) as compared to 31% (31) in controls. El Nadi and Taha (2004) in Sohag University Hospitals reported among randomly picked patients in renal dialysis unit, 84% suffered from mixed intestinal infections. Baiomy et al (2010) in Cairo found the intestinal parasites were 6% in diabetic and renal failure patients, which was less than malignant patients (18%) compared to 10% (20) controls.…”

Parasitosis causes significant morbidity and mortality among immunosuppressed hosts. Acquisition of infection, clinical severity, and outcome of a parasitic disease depend on innate and acquired host immunity andThis study evaluated parasitic infections among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) from Sohag Governorate Hospitals. A total of 100 morning stool samples were collected from the patients and another 100 stool samples from healthy control from January to May 2020. Each sample was divided into two parts; one part for microscopic examination, and the second was preservation and late need. The intestinal parasites were 66/100 CKD patients (66%), whom 25 with nephritic syndrome and 41 on dialysis patients compared to 31/100 controls. The results showed that the commonest one was Cryptosporidium pyrvum with or without Microsporidia spores.

Background: Patients on hemodialysis have drastically lowered immune systems. Particularly in people with compromised immune systems, intestinal parasites can cause severe morbidity and death. Objective: In Sohag Governorate, this case-control study examined the probabilities and prevalence rates of intestinal parasite infections in hemodialysis patients. Material and methods: This case-control study was carried out on 100 hemodialysis cases and 100 healthy control, the median was 55 years IQ (45:55), and control the median age was 39 IQ(30-45). Formol ether sedimentation concentration method, Modified Kinyoun's Acid-Fast Stain (cold), and direct wet mount and iodine stained smear were used to analyze the three fecal samples taken from each patient. Results: The present study observed a very highly significant statistical difference between cases and controls as regards single or mixed or no intestinal parasitic infection, the mixed intestinal parasitic infection was the main type in the cases group, while, most of the controls were non_infected or single type of infection, parasitic infection in hemodialysis patients was significantly higher about 4.7 more times than controls. Conclusions: Patients on hemodialysis with weakened immune systems brought on by chronic renal disease are more vulnerable to parasite infections. The findings of the current study demonstrated that intestinal parasites were much more common in hemodialysis patients.
