ascariasis/albumin

The nutritional status of 30 children infected with Ascaris lumbricoides was compared with that of 30 uninfected controls matched for age, race, sex, and family income. Statistically significant evidence of an adverse effect of ascariasis on serum albumin levels and plasma vitamin C levels was

Plasma albumin concentration and intestinal permeability have been investigated in Bangladeshi children before and 9-14 d after successful treatment for ascariasis. Children infected with A. lumbricoides had lower plasma albumin concentrations than counterparts not harbouring this worm and values

The present review will examine epidemiological perspectives and be confined mainly to the results of those field studies published since 1975 in order to provide concrete scientific evidence of the effect of ascariasis on childhood malnutrition, particularly on growth. The field studies were done

OBJECTIVE To investigate the nutritional status of individuals from a rural area of Brazil, and associations with helminth infections in an age-stratified sample. METHODS A total of 1113 individuals aged from 6 months to 83 years from the rural community of Americaninhas in Minas Gerais were

The excretory/secretory (ES) antigens of the infective (L2) and lung-stage (L3/4) larvae of Ascaris have been characterized by radio-iodination, immunoprecipitation, and SDS-PAGE. These antigens were found to be heterogeneous, ranging in apparent molecular weights from 14,000 to 410,000, were

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 modified technique for the preparation of a cercarial microscopic slide antigen for use in IFAT, that could be stored at -20 degrees C for 6 months is described. Cercariae were deposited by cooling, fixed in 0.5% buffered formaline, mixed with 7% egg albumin, dropped on slides and dried. Before

Biochemical and hematological blood parameters were investigated in pigs experimentally infected with Ascaris suum. The most marked changes were recorded on day 5-8 post inoculation, during fever. In this period there was a marked decrease of concentrations of albumin, iron, thyroxin, A and E

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
