background: chlamydia trachomatis infections are the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacterial infections (sti) in the world that lead to a cause of tubal factor infertility in women. the aim of this study is to determine the presence of c.trachomatis by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and elisa. materials and methods: endocervical swabs were collected from 80 women; 22 of them were asympto...

background: helicobacter pylori (hp) infection is one of the commonest contaminations in the worldwide, and particularly in developing counties. it has found in a few of pulmonary disorders. however, the status of hp infection has not been known among the population of sulfur mustard(sm) induced respiratory diseases. the purpose of the study was to detect hp infection among asymptomatic sm focu...

Urinary tract morbidity has increased by 7% in Kazakhstan between 2007 to 2011. Pregnant women with extragenital pathologies or kidney diseases had the greatest prevalence of morbidity. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is one of the most important risk factors of pyelonephritis development in pregnant women, and it can affect the course and outcome of pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal period. AB ...

results: in total, 8.5% of all subjects were positive (11% of symptomatic and 6% of asymptomatic men). statistical analysis revealed an association between condom usage as a variable and infection in asymptomatic group (p ≤ 0.05). conclusions: findings of this study show that chlamydial infection screening especially in males with urogenital symptoms is necessary (at least in tehran) and we rec...

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis(CT) is an obligate intracellular bacteria, requires living cells to replicate itself. CT infection can remain up to 4 years in the couple and affect their fertility. The relationship between CT and infertility is very important because most patients are asymptomatic and untreated. After infection with CT, NK activation signals begin through interactions of its ...

Asymptomatic bacteriuria, also called asymptomatic urinary infection, is a common finding in healthy women, and in women and men with abnormalities of the genitourinary tract. The characterization and introduction of the quantitative urine culture in the 1950s first allowed the reliable recognition of asymptomatic bacteriuria. The observations that a substantial proportion of patients with chro...

trichomoniasis, a worldwide prevalent infection, is a perfect example of interplay between the infecting parasite and the host, on which the presentation of disease depends. to study the pathogenesis, animal model is required for establishment of infection. in this study, by using strains of trichomonas vaginalis isolated from vaginal swabs and/or urine samples and maintained in axenic form fro...

trichomoniasis, the most widespread sexually transmitted disease is caused by trichomonas vaginalis. this parasite is site specific for the genitourinary tract and recruitment of macrophages as well as polymorphonuclear nutrophils (pmn) to the site of infection is the first line of defense as a component of non-specific resistance and immunity. in this study, balb/c mice were infected with 10 i...
