Article Synopsis
- Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are prevalent worldwide and challenging to diagnose due to lack of distinct symptoms linking them to specific diseases.
- A review of medical literature using various search phrases revealed that accurate diagnosis involves detecting parasites and understanding their connection to disease, taking into account potential multiple infections in patients.
- Emphasis is placed on interpreting lab results accurately, considering local epidemiology, and collecting appropriate samples (like feces or blood) at the right times for effective diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
Wilson's disease (WD) is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by pathogenic variants of the gene, which are responsible for impaired copper transport in the cell, inhibition of copper binding to apoceruloplasmin, and biliary excretion. This leads to the accumulation of copper in the tissues. Copper accumulation in the CNS leads to the neurological and psychiatric symptoms of WD.
