This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and effect of parasitic infection on erythrocyte indices in trade camels slaughtered in Maiduguri, Nigeria. Two hundred adult one humped camels comprised of 87 (43.5 %) males and 113 (56.5 %) females were examined for helminths and hemoparasites at their slaughter time according to the standard procedures. An overall prevalence of 79 % for s...

Congenital chloride diarrhoea (CCD) is a recessively inherited disorder of chloride transport in the distal ileum and colon. Congenital chloride diarrhoea is a common metabolic disorder in Kuwait with an incidence of 1/3200. Clinical findings in 14 children with CCD are reported over a period of 4 years. Maternal polyhydramnios, abdominal distension, watery diarrhoea, and a high faecal chloride...

Detection of antigens in faecal supernatants is a more reliable and suitable method, in cases where coprological examination fails to reveal any parasitic ova. Hundred cattle known to be infected with Gastrothylax crumenifer, the most prevalent amphistome species were selected at random for the study. An indirect ELISA was performed to detect coproantigens in faecal supernatants of these infect...

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a common cancer and the second most common cause of death. The therapeutic costs for this disease will continue to rise due to an increasing incidence and the introduction of new chemotherapeutic modalities. Colorectal carcinoma is preceded by precursor lesions, which can be used as a target for early detection and therapy. Biennial population screening with faecal...

Immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) may be primary or secondary. In primary IMHA, no underlying cause can be found, whereas secondary IMHA is triggered by an underlying cause, such as neoplasia, infectious diseases, or drugs. This paper describes 3 dogs with typical signs of IMHA that was possibly associated with the intestinal parasite Ancylostoma caninum. As intestinal helminths can be ...

A case of meconium ileus equivalent in a 25-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis is reported and the pathology of this condition is described. On gross examination the lumen of the terminal ileum was completely obstructed by a mass of inspissated faecal material with a putty-like consistency. The principal microscopic findings were plugging of the mucosal crypts with mucoid secretion, distention...

Food-handlers (n = 1500) attending the public health laboratory in Khartoum, Sudan, for annual check-ups were screened for intestinal parasites by 3 different techniques (direct faecal examination, formol-ether concentration and floatation) to evaluate the adequacy of annual screening. Results showed that 29.4% of food-handlers were harbouring intestinal protozoa in stool samples: Entamoeba col...

In 100 patients with cystic fibrosis the severity of steatorrhoea was assessed by three separate methods. Using chemical faecal fat assay as the gold standard, two other rapid and inexpensive methods were compared with it. The steatocrit method proved unreliable in our hands and gave little indication of the presence or severity of steatorrhoea. The more simple microscopy method was highly sens...
