HIV and intestinal parasite co-infections among a Chinese population : an immunological profile [PDF]

, 2013
Parasite infections often result in a switch of the human body's predominant immune reaction from T-helper 1 (Th1)-type to Th2-type. Hence, parasite infections are widely expected to accelerate the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV ...

Occurrence of Blastocystis in Patients with Clostridioides difficile Infection [PDF]

Pathogens, 2020
Clostridiodes difficile comprises a public-health threat that has been understudied in Colombia. Hypervirulent strains of C. difficile harbor multiple toxins, can be easily spread, and can have their onset of disease within healthcare facilities (HCFO) and the community (CO). Studies have shown that a disrupted microbiota (e.g., dysbiosis) may allow C.
