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.

Experimental Blastocystis hominis infection in laboratory mice

Parasitology Research, 1997
Young (less than 8 weeks old) immunocompetent BALB/c mice became infected with Blastocystis hominis after inoculation of fecal cysts orally and of in vitro axenic-culture forms intracecally. This study confirmed that the fecal cyst was the form responsible for external transmission and that the mode of transmission was by the fecal-oral route.

  Blastocystis infection

2020
Abstract Blastocystis 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.

Chronic urticaria associated with Blastocystis hominis infection

Archives of Dermatological Research
Urticaria is a skin rash with several etiologic factors, including infectious agents. Blastocystis hominis is an intestinal protozoan parasite that has been linked to urticaria and skin lesions. The aim of this work was to investigate the association between B. hominis infection and chronic urticaria.

[Blastocystis hominis infection: a case report].

Minerva pediatrica, 1997
Blastocytis hominis has long been described as a non-pathogenetic protozoan parasite until recently, when claims have been made that it could be the cause of intestinal disorders. The clinical picture of B. hominis consists of non specific abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, anorexia, vomiting and weight loss.
