Prevalence of toxoplasma infection in Mexican newborns and children: a systematic review from 1954 to 2009.

Introduction. Recent studies in Mexico have shown that from 20/10,000 to 58/10,000 newborns with Toxoplasma infection could be undetected. The aim of this study was to determine the weighed prevalence of T.

Acute infection of Toxoplasma gondii and cytomegalovirus reactivation in a pediatric patient receiving liver transplant.

A 7-year-old Mexican boy with end-stage cirrhosis underwent liver transplantation and was maintained with cyclosporine and prednisolone. No specific data about Toxoplasma gondii or cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in the cadaver donor were available. The recipient was seronegative for Toxoplasma, but CMV-IgG positive before transplantation.

Evaluation of the in vitro effect of albendazole, metronidazole and nitazoxanide on viability and structure of Giardia lamblia cysts.

Effect of albendazole, metronidazole and nitazoxanide on the viability and structure of Giardia lamblia cysts isolates from infected children. The viability was evaluated by inducing excystation in a low-pH solution followed by an incubation in TYI-S culture medium. Nitazoxanide exhibited potent inhibitory effect (100%), metronidazole (79%) and albendazole (31%).
