Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease that affects both humans and animals. Canines are considered the main reservoirs of disease, while cats can present as secondary reservoirs, altering epidemiological cycle disease. The work describes first case feline foot hyperkeratosis in Asunción-Paraguay associated with leishmaniasis, determined by cytological diagnosis, favorable response to tr...

conclusions with the average 89 months follow-up, no recurrence of the diseases was found in the patients. it seems that using of cement and oral anti-parasitic, after extensive resection of the lesion is a proper treatment of bone hydatid disease. introduction bone is an uncommon site of involvement in hydatid disease; with the prevalence of 0.5-2% among bone lesions. case presentation in this...

Parasitic diseases represent one of the most important issues in public health. More than 20 million people are infected by diseasecausing parasites. Parasites represent a broad group of eukaryotic organisms that can cause severe disease in human populations, including malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, Schistosomiasis and Filariasis. Closely related to these parasitic diseases are geograp...

Hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of human and animal. Although liver and lung are the most commonly affected area, hydatid cyst may develop any part of the body. Primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst is extremely rare. We report a case of 54 years old man who presented with palpable mass in scapular region from 3 years ago....

results overall, 161 children at a mean age of 9.25 ± 3.37 years (age range = 1 - 15 years old) hospitalized with a definite diagnosis of the hydatid cyst between 2001 and 2014 were studied. the male-to-female ratio was 1.6:1. the most commonly involved organ was the lung (67.1%), followed by the liver (44.1%) and a combined liver and lung involvement was found in 15.5% of the patients. the cys...

Sir, The recent report on ‘Acute appendicitis and Schistosomiasis’ is very interesting.1 Figueiredo et al noted for ‘possibility of finding more patients with concurrent appendicitis and schistosomiasis’.1 In fact, the parasitic acute appendicitis is not an uncommon problem in the tropical world. According to the recent report by Jada et al, it was reported that ‘among 100 specimens, 48 faecoli...

Parasitic infections may damage various ocular tissues, thereby causing visual dysfunction. In 1950, Wilder described the first case in which larval forms of nematodal intestinal roundworms (Ascaridoidea: Ascaris, Toxocara, Ancylostoma, Necator, and Strongyloides) were implicated as a cause of intraocular disease. This review focuses on two disorders associated with parasitic infections: ocular...

Histopathological research is very important in diagnosing human and animal diseases. Detection of histopathological changes during certain parasitic invasions is particularly important for differential diagnosis and often confirms the presence of parasitic diseases. Such studies allow also to conclude on the primary cause of the disease.
