Background: The characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment stages of malaria in Turkey in the last ten years are not known except few case reports. We aimed to describe the details of the diagnosis and treatment practices of malaria cases in various hospitals across Turkey between 2012 and 2023 after the declaration of the elimination of malaria.
Methods: We collected the patient data from 30 centers by using Qualtrics Survey Software.
Layşmanyaz, yaklaşık 90'dan fazla ülke ve bölgeden bildirilen, ciddi ve endemik bir bulaşıcı hastalıktır. Kutanöz layşmanyaz (KL) ise vücudun açıkta kalan bölgelerinde oluşan, başlıca semptomları arasında vektör Phlebotomus ısırığından altı ay sonra kronikleşebilen veya kendiliğinden iyileşebilen ciltte tek, birden fazla ülserli veya nodüler lezyonlar bulunan, ölümcül olmayan ancak kalıcı izler bırakabilen bir hastalıktır. Klasik tedavi yöntemleri, uygulamada zorluk, direnç gelişimi ve yan etki gibi bir dizi soruna neden olmaktadır.

- The study examined the genetic diversity and clinical characteristics of Dientamoeba fragilis, an intestinal protozoan, in Aydin, Turkey, using samples from 200 individuals.
- D. fragilis was found in 16% of samples, with all isolates classified as "genotype 1" and showing low genetic variability among populations; only one out of six genetic loci displayed differences.
- There were no significant clinical or demographic differences between those infected with D. fragilis and those who were not, indicating a clonal distribution of this organism in the region.
Blastocystis spp. are the most common intestinal protozoan parasites detected in human stool samples. While identified long before today, its pathogenicity remains controversial.
