“…This might be due to in Iraqi communities females are in long contact with water and with vegetables during food preparation, so females are more susceptible to infection. But high rate among females with IBS, may be due to IBS is a predisposing factor for increasing infection withHelicobacter pylori 3 , and Blastocystis hominis 36 intestinal protozoan infections 37. These findings are in agreement with that recorded in Kirkuk city by 3,30,36, 37 and with that in Basra by 28 .…”

Intestinal amoebiasis due to Entamoeba histolytica in association to gastroenteritis in Kirkuk city was recently reported. Objective: To measure fecal calprotectin (FC) also during intestinal amoebiasis. The relation between Ent.histolytica and gastroenteritis was investigated. Methodology: A total of 419 patients attend to the gastroenteritis clinics in two Hospital Kirkuk center. They suffer from gastrointestinal disorders (GITDs), such as diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea altered by constipation. The collected stool samples were tested for: parasitological tests and fresh portion was extracted for fecal calprotectin using ELISA technique. Blood samples were tested for some hematological tests. For each stool sample direct double wet preparations were performed then confirmed by flotation technique. Overnight extracted fecal sample was tested for FC using ELISA-copro kit. Neutrophil count and white blood cells were calculated using samples using automated machine. Results: A total of 82.81 % of parasitic infection was recorded, and Entamoeba histolytica contributed rate was 24.85 %.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) due to intestinal amoebiasis were highly recorded among patients aging from 31to 40 years (74.34 %) followed by 71.42 % among patients aging from 11 to 20 years. Compare to high rate in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients aging from 41 to over than 60 years old. Samples from females positive for Entamoeba histolytica in relation to IBD and IBS exert significance compare to males. Fecal calprotectin positive level above than 50 ng/ml was recorded in 50 stool samples versus to 37 negative mean levels as Fc was below 50 ng/ml. Frequency of FC positive was higher among females than males. Leucopenia and neutrophilia were dominant among positive FC samples contrary to normal neutrophil count among FC negative samples. High rate 59.22 % of stool sample pH was ranged from 6.1 to 7. Conclusions: Entamoeba histolytica rate is high among patients with gastroenteritis particularly among IBD patients. ELISA Fecal calprotectin is good marker for detecting the injury caused by the parasites to the host.

In Kirkuk,Hammood et al (2016) (23) reported that males [M:F ratio (1.58:1)] were more infected with B. hominis due to more outdoor activities(24,25).…”

Blastocystis hominis is an enteric protozoan. It is frequently found in children and may cause chronic diarrhea. The present cross-sectional study was carried out during the period from October to December, 2021 in Wasit Province of Iraq. A total 100 stool samples from both gender and different ages (two years to the 60 years) suffering from primary gastro-intestinal disorders. All stool samples were examined microscopically by the direct method for identification of B. hominis and for the presence of other intestinal parasites. The number and percent of infection rate with B. hominis was 34(34%) in both of adults and children groups, the age group (14 – 35) years showed the highest rate of infection 12 (35.29 %) and the lowest rate was in ages ( 51-60 years) 3 (15%). The number and percent of infection among children were 4(11.76 %) and among age group of ( 36 – 50 year) were 10( 29.41%). The number and percent of the infection among males were 24 (70.58%) while among females were 10 (29.41%).. According to the residence, urban areas were reported 24(70.58%) and rural areas were 10 (29.41% ).
