Serological and molecular detection of in ß. thalassemia patients.

is a worldwide opportunistic protozoan causing life-threatening infection in immunocompromised patients, while frequently asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals. The current study aimed to detect ; serologically and molecularly in ß. thalassemia patients and evaluate the association of infection with some hematological parameters in these patients.

Molecular diagnosis and subtyping of sp.: Association with clinical, colonoscopic, and histopathological findings.

Introduction: sp. is the most common parasitic infestation in humans. However, its pathogenicity remains controversial.

Pre-and post-treatment evaluation of intestinal inflammation in and infected children: a community-based study.

and cause frequent infections in children in developing countries. However, the role of intestinal inflammation in their pathogenesis is still poorly understood. Faecal calprotectin (FC) level is used as an indicator of intestinal inflammation and neutrophil migration in the intestinal tract.

Detection of toxoplasmosis in aborted women in Alexandria, Egypt using ELISA and PCR.

Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide infection that can be acquired through the ingestion of tissue cysts in poorly cooked meat, and/or oblivious intake of sporulated oocysts in cat faeces, and transplacental. The infection in pregnant women is mainly asymptomatic. It produces abortion or congenital infection.

Molecular Characterization of Giardia intestinalis Detected in Humans and Water Samples in Egypt.

Background: Giardia intestinalis is a common cause of gastrointestinal illness especially in children of developing countries. Giardia assemblages A and B are the major human infective genotypes.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the role of water supply in the epidemiology of giardiasis via genotyping G.
