Serum proteins were estimated in two patient groups, namely (i) 20 cases with proven ameobic liver abscess and (ii) 12 cases with hepatic amoebiasis without demonstrable pus, commonly referred to by the misnomer 'ameobic hepatitis'. In amoebic liver abscess a fall in albumin and an increase in alpha
Children with heavy Trichuris infestation were compared with paediatric amoebic dysentery patients and normal children. Heavy Trichuris infestation was diagnosed by visualization of worms on anoscopy. Patients with heavy Trichuris infection had a longer duration of disease, more frequent
Entamoeba histolytica (HK-9: IMSS) trophozoites were separated from the culture medium and washed and submitted to the effects of ultrasound during 10 minutes. After 10,000 rpm x 30 centrifugation, the supernatant fluid was separated in four fractions by Sephadex G-200 gel chromatography. These
Acanthamoeba spp. are free-living protozoa that are opportunistic pathogens for humans. Cysteine proteases of Acanthamoeba have been partially characterized, but their biochemical and functional properties are not clearly understood yet. In this study, we isolated a gene encoding cysteine protease
Studies were carried out from June 1974 to May 1975 on the socio-economic status, health and nutritional status of the people in 4 villages, in the irrigation area of the Nong Wai Pioneer Agricultural Project of Khon Kaen Province, Northeast Thailand. The result obtained were compared with those in
A micro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay utilizing antigen dotted onto nitrocellulose filter discs (Dot-ELISA) was developed for the rapid diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis. Leishmania donovani promastigotes applied to filter discs in volumes of 1 microliter were placed in 96-well microtiter
We evaluated the clinical features of 96 cases of amebic liver abscess and 48 of pyogenic hepatic abscess. Most patients with amebic abscess were young Hispanic males. Those with pyogenic abscess were older, without any ethnic predominance. Symptoms tended to be acute and localized to the right
This study on ulcerative colitis in the Indian population of Durban between 1983 and 1987 revealed an incidence of 2,7/100,000 per year. Patients tended to have clinically mild-to-moderate disease, with macroscopic examination showing moderate severity and either extensive or total involvement. No
Serum seromucoid estimation was carried out in 60 normal controls and 100 patients. (1) The serum seromucoid values in normal subjects ranged between 37-5-127 mg.% (69-35 +/- 17-84). (2) Serum seromucoid levels were found to be increased in patients of abdominal tuberculosis (210-95 +/- 86-49).
The findings of alpha fetoprotein antigens are reported in raw extracts of Entamoeba histolytica and also, on the membranes of trophozoites obtained from an axenic culture medium. This was confirmed through two techniques: Ouchterlony's immunodiffusion and indirect immunofluorescence using an
Electrophoretic patterns of human blood serum protein were studied in parasitic diseases including 19 cases of clonlrchiasis, 29 cases of clonorchiasis and other helminthiasis and 22 cases of healthy controls in Kim-hae area. The same study was made on 32 cases of ascariasis, 56 cases of
OBJECTIVE
To identify the variables that predict the failure to treat amoebic liver abscesses.
METHODS
We prospectively carried out a case-control study on a cohort of patients who had been diagnosed with amoebic liver abscesses using clinical, ultrasonic, and serologic methods. Patients with
Distinguishing amoebic from pyogenic liver abscesses is crucial because their treatments and prognoses differ. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 577 adults with liver abscess in order to identify clinical, laboratory, and radiographic factors useful in differentiating these
