“…The current research also discovered that serum PGE2 and TGF-1β levels were significantly higher (P = 0.05). PGE2 concentrations in patients and controls were (788.99 0.531 pg /ml), (1300.29 0.618 pg /ml), and (8890.421 pg /ml), (1199 0.711 pg /ml), respectively, as shown in figure (1,2).…”

“…Patients sometimes undergo an emergency appendectomy, but the definitive diagnosis can only be made after a pathologic examination of the appendix. To avoid re-infection, all patients diagnosed with E. vermicularis appendix infestation should receive antihelminthic treatment (1) . The most popular reason for emergency surgery is acute appendicitis (2) .…”

Background: Intestinal E. vermicularis worm infection is asymptomatic and endemic in Iraq, but it can cause appendicitis; symptoms vary depending on the stage of the gastrointestinal disease. The E. vermicularis worm has caused several cases of appendicitis. Objective: This study aimed to find out how common E. vermicularis was in appendectomy samples and whether it played a role in appendicitis development. Patients and Methods: Just 30 (3.15 %) of the 950 surgical specimens removed from patients with clinical appendicitis tested positive for E. vermicularis worms. Two ml blood was drawn from positive samples to measure cytokines (prostaglandin two and Transforming growth factor-beta 1), with 30 healthy people serving as a control group. From January to August 2019, all samples were taken from patients who visited AL-Zahra maternity and paediatrics and AL-Hakeem hospital in AL-Najaf province. Patients' appendixes were biopsies, stained with eosin hematoxylin, and microscopically diagnosed. Results: The findings of this study showed a substantial increase (P0.05) in serum levels of PGE2 and TGF-1β as compared to the control group, as well as a histological spectrum of appendicitis associated with a large number of E. vermicularis eggs, the lymphoid follicle reactive germinal center, prominent eosinophilic infiltration. Conclusion: Based on this research's findings, we believe that E. vermicularis worm infection can cause appendicitis and an immune response manifested by elevated PGE2 and TGF-1β levels in the blood.

Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) are a major cause of morbidity worldwide and have been described as an important public health problem. The present study aimed to determine the un usual parasitic infection and identification of risk factors among 4-12years old school age children residing in lower dir district, Pakistan from 2018- 2019. Of the 400 children studied in which the overall prevalence rate for intestinal parasitic infections was found to be 71.75%. Children infected with single parasite accounted for 67.94% and 32.05% were detected with poly-parasitism. Shistosoma japonicum (0.69%), Taxocara spp (0.69%) and cryptosporidium (0.69%), were identified in children living in studied areas. We conclude that there is a need for mass scale campaigns to create awareness regarding health and hygiene in children and the need for development of effective poverty control programmes.

“…This nematode infection is nearly comparable with 20% in Azad Jammu and Kasmir (Khan et al, 2018b), 7.58% in Islamabad, 6.70%in district Swat (Noor-un-Nisa et al, 2011.91% in district Swat, Lower and Upper Dir (Khan et al, 2019a), 6.45% in district Swat (Khan et al, 2017b) and 5.99% in district Swat (Khan et al, 2017c). The infection rate was high then other studies, 3.64% in Swat (Noor-un-Nisa et al, 2011), 3.64% in district Swat (Khan and Khan, 2015), 2.90% in Swat (Khan et al, 2018b), 3.96% (Khan et al, 2018a), 1.08% in district Swat (Khan et al, 2019b), 0.85% in Peshawar (Ilyas et al, 2018);m0.4% in Karachi (Arshad et al, 2019); 33.4% was found in school children of Lower district Lower Dir, Pakistan (Khan et al, 2022) and 41.9% of prevalence was noted by Ulhaq et al (2022). The infection rate was low 41.7% study conducted in Punjab (Dar et al, 2013).…”

Intestinal parasitism is the main cause of disease all over the world and described as a significant community health problem. The current study intended to find out the occurrence and identification of hazard factors linked with IPIs among 4-12 years aged shool-age children residing in Lower Dir district, Pakistan during 2019 - 2020. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted using a pre-arranged pre-tested survey. Anthropometric data and stool collection were done to obtain the findings. The direct wet mount preparation in saline/iodine/methods was used for stool examination. Data were investigated using the GraphPad Prism 5. A total of 400 children studied (mean age of 8.6±3.6 years) the total incidence rate for the intestinal parasitic disease was established to be 71.75%. Of the 400 children studied, the overall prevalence rate for intestinal parasitic infections was found to 71.75% Ascaris lumbricoides (33.1%), Trichuris trichiura (1.04%), E. vermicularis (1.39%), Hookworm (19.86%) were identified in children living in the study area. We concluded that there is a mass scale campaigns were required to generate alertness about health and sanitation in children and the need for the development of effective poverty control programs because deworming (killing of worm with drugs) alone is not adequate to control parasitic infections.
