Prevalence of intestinal parasites among type 1 diabetic patients in pediatrics Zagazig university hospital

Detection rate and genotyping of Cryptosporidium spp. and its relation to copro TNF-α in elderly Egyptians attending outpatient clinics of Cairo University Hospitals

“…In verification, Mousa et al [57] reported that 32% of patients with diarrhea and hepatocellular carcinoma were infected with Cryptosporidium. However, we found no statistical significance between cryptosporidiosis and patients known to be diabetic, which was documented in similar studies [58,59] . Drawany et al [59] explained that patients with DM might be at a higher risk for cryptosporidiosis as the clearance of parasites from the intestine might be impaired due to weakening of both innate and acquired immunities.…”

Intestinal Parasitic Infections Among Egyptian Patients With Chronic Liver Diseases At Zagazig University Hospital

“…Human intestinal parasitic infections are series of public health problems in developing countries [35]. Even in communities where adequate sanitary conditions and higher educational levels are present, some of these intestinal parasites play an important role in causing diseases especially in specific groups such as immunocompromised patients [10]. This study found an intimate relationship between the occurrence of chronic hepatic insult and the presence of intestinal parasitic infection in such patients.…”

“…Those patients typically have alterations in the enteric flora, reduction in serum bactericidal, opsonic activity, complements, and fibronectin levels [7]. Intestinal parasitic infections are most predomina nt ly aggravated among patients with deficient immune status [8,9,10]. Patients with CLD are susceptible to a wide spectrum of parasitic infections such as opportunistic protozoa as Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba spp., Blastocystis hominis, Cryptosporidium spp., Cyclospora, Isospora belli and Microsporidia.…”

Therapeutic and Immuno-Modulatory Effect of Silver Nanoparticles-Loaded With Metronidazole on Experimental Blastocystosis

“…Blastocystis infection is globally prevalent parasite, affecting more than 1 billion peoples worldwide (Andersen and Stensvold, 2016). In Egypt, the prevalence was 16.7% by Elnazer et al (2017) and 1.8% by El Drawany et al (2019). Subtype 3 was the prevalent zoonotic one worldwide, with a controversy in its pathogenic potential (Lepczynska and Dzika, 2019).…”
