Abstract Background Cryptosporidiosis is a disease caused by infection with an intestinal coccidian parasite Cryptosporidium. Cryptosporidium species are the second leading cause of diarrheal and death in children developing countries. Until now, no data have been available or published on its prevalence among diarrhea Sudan. Therefore, this paper was designed to determine rate under 5 years wh...

We analyzed 150 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis from 1990 to 1996 (i) to evaluate the frequency of drug resistance, (ii) to elucidate factors influencing the response to chemotherapy, and (iii) to attempt to improve the therapeutic approach. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis strains were not found. By univariate analysis, there were 8 factors associated with an increased sputum conversion t...

During a study of intestinal parasitic infections in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients, a parasite belonging to the phylum Myxozoa, recently described from human samples, was identified in one sample. When this parasite was stained by the modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining method, the features of the spores were identified: they were pyriform in shape, had thick walls, and had one sut...

BACKGROUND Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue and usually results due to traumatic implantation of soil organisms. Mycetoma can be eumycotic or acinomycotic in origin. Actinomycetoma is susceptible to a large number of chemotherapeutic agents, but the response is variable and affected by various factors such as extent of involvement, duration of disease,...

Background: Several parasites are responsible for life threatening infections in immunocompromisedpatients including those with chronic renal diseases. Determination of enteroparasitosis prevalence inpatients end stage disease (ESRD) experiencing hemodialysis (HD) showed elevated rates ofinfection, primarily by protozoa.Objectives: To investigate the common intestinal among patients ESRD underg...

The ageing process is accompanied by numerous changes in the brain of dogs, such as accumulation amyloid, fibrosis blood vessel walls and meninges, lipofuscin, presence polyglucosan bodies (PGBs), satellitosis neuronophagia. In this study, lipofuscin PGBs various parts dogs different sexes ages was examined. For purpose, samples were stained using haematoxylin eosin, modified Ziehl Neelsen Peri...
