Comparative GRA6 and GRA7 for their Utility as Genetic Markers in the Genotyping of Cerebral Toxoplasmosis in Cerebrospinal Fluid.

Introduction: Cerebral toxoplasmosis is a severe symptom of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection that often affects individuals with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and can be fatal. T.

Unspecific congenital toxoplasmosis in a two-month-old baby.

A two-month-old baby boy diagnosed with unspecific congenital toxoplasmosis was referred by a pediatrician to the Clinical Parasitology referral center at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia. Baby was post-hospitalized in the NICU and required ventilation support for one month. Furthermore, there was history of from various medical conditions, such as intracranial bleeding, convulsion, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, retinopathy, and renal failure.

Asymptomatic Cryptosporidiosis in Children Living with HIV.

Children living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have an increased risk of opportunistic infection. usually causes chronic diarrhea that may lead to impaired growth and cognitive function in children. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in children, describe its clinical characteristics, and the risk factors.

experiments of (: ) resistance to permethrin and 6-paradol in East Jakarta: Detoxification enzyme activity and electron microscopic changes in lice.

Background And Aim: , the human head louse, remains a global health problem. This study evaluated the resistance of head lice to permethrin and 6-paradol mediated by detoxification enzyme activity experiments and to describe physical changes in the lice using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Materials And Methods: The adult stages of were collected from patients exposed to 1% permethrin and three different concentrations of 6-paradol (0.

Treatment of human intestinal cryptosporidiosis: A review of published clinical trials.

The global burden of diarrhea caused by Cryptosporidium parasite is underestimated. In immunocompromised hosts, chronic and severe presentation of intestinal cryptosporidiosis can result in long-term morbidity and high illness costs. The evidence of effective treatments for cryptosporidiosis has been lacking.

Toxoplasma gondii SAG2 type III in an atypical presentation of ocular toxoplasmosis in Indonesia.

Objective: This study aimed to perform genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii strain or variant causing atypical toxoplasmic uveitis in Indonesian patients.

Methods: Ocular fluid samples originating from 46 uveitis patients with non-specific ocular manifestations were analysed for Toxoplasma infection by PCR of the B1 locus. The clonal type was determined by amplification, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of SAG2 and GRA6 loci in B1-positive samples.

Blastocystis ST-1 is associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-diarrhoea (IBS-D) in Indonesian adolescences.

Objective: IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder and commonly presents in children and adolescences, presented as diarrhoea, constipation or mixed type. is a common intestinal protozoa found worldwide, which pathogenicity is still controversial. This study aimed to identify the risk factors of IBS, the association between IBS types with and analyse pathogenicity.
