“…B. hominis, whose pathogenicity is still controversial, was identified as the most prevalent parasite (26.5%) in the present study. It was observed that the prevalence of this parasite was between 0.05-13.1% in certain previous studies, which was lower when compared to the findings of the present study (6,8,13,(16)(17)(18). E. histolytica/E.…”

“…The prevalence of intestinal parasites varies based on the region in Turkey. These parasites are less common (3.6-24.1%) in western Turkey due to better socio-economic standards and educational levels (15)(16)(17)(18). In previous studies conducted in eastern provinces in Turkey, the rate of intestinal parasitosis was reported as 17-63.3% (19)(20)(21)(22).…”

Dergisi PARAZITO LOJI 70 Özgün Araştırma Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı 11 yıllık bir süreçte Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Parazitoloji Laboratuvar'ına başvuran hastalarda intestinal parazitlerin prevalansını retrospektif olarak belirlemekti. Yöntemler: Hastanemizin polikliniklerine başvuran 69633 hastanın dışkı örnekleri nativ-Lugol ayrıca gerek duyulduğunda flotasyon, sedimantasyon, trikrom ve modifiye asit-fast boyama ve ELISA metodu ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Pozitif bulunan hastalarda toplam 24 parazit türü saptanmıştır. En az bir ya da daha fazla parazit türü bütün hastaların %34,1'inde belirlenmiştir. En sık saptanan parazit, Blastocystis hominis olmuştur. Patojen parazitlerden Giardia intestinalis (G. intestinalis) %9,3, Ascaris lumbricoides (A. lumbricoides) %2,5, Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar %0,8, Cystoisospora belli %0,004, Fasciola hepatica %0,04, Dicrocoelium dendriticum %0,001, Strongyloides stercoralis %0,001 ve çengelli solucanlar %0,001 oranında saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Parazitlerin yayılış oranı geçmiş yıllara göre bir düşüş göstermiş olsa da özellikle çocuk yaş grubunda G. intestinalis ve A. lumbricoides gibi patojen parazitlerin Van yöresinde hala yüksek oranda görüldüğü ve parazitoz probleminin hala devam ettiği anlaşılmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: İntestinal parazitler, insan, VanÖZ Objective: The aim of present study was to retrospectively determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in patients, who were referred to Parasitology Laboratory in Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Faculty of Medicine during an 11-year period. Methods: Stool samples of 69633 individuals admitted to the outpatient clinics in the hospital were initially evaluated with native-Lugol, and then by flotation, sedimentation, trichrome staining, modified acid-fast staining and ELISA methods.Results: Twenty-four parasite species were identified in parasite-positive patients. At least one or more parasite species were found in 34.1% of all patients. The most commonly observed parasite was Blastocystis hominis (26.5%). Among pathogen parasites, Giardia intestinalis (G. intestinalis) was detected in 9.3%, Ascaris lumbricoides (A. lumbricoides) was detected in 2.5%, Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar in 0.8%, Cystoisospora belli in 0.004%, Fasciola hepatica in 0.04%, Dicrocoelium dendriticum in 0.001%, Strongyloides stercoralis in 0.001% and hookworm in 0.001% of the patients. Conclusion:It was determined that, pathogen parasites such as G. intestinalis and A. lumbricoides were still observed at high rates in Van province, especially in children, and the problem of parasitosis is still continuing, although the prevalence of parasites has declined when compared to the previous years.

“…Turkey provides a wide range, suitable areas in terms of the climate and geographical conditions likewise socio-economic conditions for parasitic infection [10].In a study for investigating the regional prevalence in our country, the rate of intestinal parasites has been found as 10-34% in the Marmara region, 54-94% in the Black Sea region, 12-40% in the Aegean region, 55-80% in the Mediterranean region, 50-75% in Central Anatolia, 60-94% in the East and 64-96% in the South-eastern Anatolia [11].…”

Objectives: Leukemic patients are at increased risk of severe infections with parasites. Moreover, intestinal parasites can lead to severe diarrhea in patients with immunosuppression. The purpose of this study is to decide intestinal parasitic infections and clinical aspects in leukemic patients. Methods:Analysis was done of all leukemic patients hospitalized between January 2007 and October 2015 retrospectively.Results: Ninety-one patients were evaluated. Intestinal parasites were diagnosed in nine (9.9%) patient. Cryptosporidium was the most frequently identified parasite, recovered from six specimens (6.6%), while Blastocystis (n=3) and Entamoeba (n=1) accounted for 3.3% and 1.1%, respectively. Cryptosporidium spp. and E. histolytica were detected together in one patient. Duration of diarrhea in patients with and without parasite were 16.1±9.3 and 7.9±2.9days, respectively (P=0.037). Abdominal cramps in patients with and without parasite were present in seven (77.8%) and 20 (24.4%) patients, respectively (P=0.002). In contrast, vomiting in patient with and without parasite were present in five (55.6%) and 81 (98.8%) patients, respectively (P<0.0005). Conclusion:Parasitic infections should be considered for differential diagnosis in leukemic patients with diarrhea. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2017; 7(2): 63-66

ÖZET Helmint enfeksiyonları, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde önemli bir sağlık problemidir. Bunlardan Taenia saginata bulantı, kusma, ishal ataklarına sebep olan, insanlarda en yaygın bulunan sestoddur. Taenia saginatanın ana konağı insan, ara konağı sığır gibi otçul hayvanlardır. Çiğ et tüketimi ile geçiş söz konusudur. Hemodiyaliz, organ transplantasyonu, AIDS gibi immün yanıtın baskılanmış olduğu durumlarda enfeksiyonlara eğilim artmaktadır. Bu tür immünkompromize kişilerde intestinal parazitler önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir. Parazit ile enfekte bireyler yıllarca asemptomatik kalabileceği gibi; abdominal ağrı, bulantı, kusma, ishal, kilo kaybı ve cerrahi müdahale gerektirebilecek apandisit, jejunal perforasyon gibi gastrointestinal komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Taenia enfeksiyonları tanısal zorluklar nedeni ile sıklıkla atlanabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, uzun zamandır ishal atakları olan hemodiyaliz olgusunda tespit ettiğimiz Taenia enfeksiyonuna yaklaşımın sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Anah tar Ke li me ler: Diyaliz; ishal; tenya saginata; bağırsak hastalıkları ABS TRACT Helmint infections are a major health problem in developing countries. Of these, Tenia saginata is mostly seen cestode in human causing nausea, vomiting and diarrhea attacks. The main host of Tenia saginata human whereas intermediate hosts are herbivorous animals such as cattles.There is a transition with raw meat consumption. In cases where the immune response is suppressed including hemodialysis, organ transplantation and AIDS, the tendency towards infections increases. Intestinal parasites are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in such immunocompromised subjects. Parasite-infected individuals can remain asymptomatic for many years, or it may cause gastrointestinal complications such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss and appendicitis, jejunal perforation, which may require surgical intervention as well.In this case, we present an approach to the tenia infection, which we detected in the patient with diarrhea attacks for a long time.
