Invasive Blastocystis hominis Infection in a Child

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1994
The association of Blastocystis hominis with human disease is controversial. Many studies 1-9 have reported its association with gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and weight loss. Other reports 10,11 doubt its clinical pathogenicity. To our knowledge, invasive B hominis has not been found in humans.

Blastocystis sp. infections in pigs

Veterinary Microbiology, 1979
Abstract A species of Blastocytis has been identified and isolated from pigs in England. A limited survey was carried out, which showed that the organism was present on each of five pig farms visited in Berkshire and East Anglia.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Blastocystis horninis Infection in Children

Clinical Pediatrics, 1993
Blastocystis hominis, a protozoan whose pathogenicity has been questioned, is sometimes found in the human gastrointestinal tract. We sought to determine the prevalence of Blastocystis in stool and to characterize clinical features of infection with Blastocystis in children.

A survey of Blastocystis infection in anuran and urodele amphibians

Veterinary Parasitology, 2004
Blastocystis infection in amphibians was surveyed in three species of anuran and one species of urodele amphibians captured at two distinct locations in Japan. All three species of frogs were highly infected with Blastocystis, while 69 individual urodele newts, Cynopus pyrrhogaster, were negative for infection. Eleven Blastocystis isolates (47.8%) were

Effect of Trimethoprim-Sulfamethaxazole in Blastocystis Hominis Infection

American Journal of Gastroenterology, 1999
Blastocystis hominis (B. hominis) is a common intestinal parasite that has long been considered nonpathogenic. Recently there have been many reports supporting a role for the organism as a potential pathogen. We performed a study to examine the pathogenicity of B.

Blastocystis hominis infection

2010
Blastocystis hominis is an anaerobic unicellular non-invasive colonic parasite of animals and humans. It is transmitted faeco-orally, with human infection associated with travel, institutions, animal handlers and immunodeficiency. Case reports strongly suggest that it causes a self-limited diarrhoeal illness.
