Gut microbiota profiles in diarrheic patients with co-occurrence of Clostridioides difficile and Blastocystis.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Blastocystis and Clostridioides difficile co-occurrence is considered a rare event since the colonization by Blastocystis is prevented under a decrease in beneficial bacteria in the microbiota when there is C. difficile infection (CDI). This scenario has

First Report of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon spp. and Blastocystis spp. in Hair Goats in Türkiye

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Blastocystis spp., Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon spp. are prevalent zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites that cause severe diarrhoea and enteric diseases in humans and animals worldwide. This study investigated the molecular occurrence, genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of E. bieneusi, Blastocystis spp.

Clinical and Diagnostic Insights into Penile Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia Based on a Case and Analysis of Previous Literature

Skin Research and Technology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare, benign vascular proliferation of unknown origin. It typically occurs in the head and neck region, but can occasionally manifest in unusual locations, such as the penis. Herein, we report a case of ALHE in a 46‐year‐old HIV‐infected male presenting with multiple pruritic whitish ...
