Parasitic infections of refugees
Medical Journal of Australia, 1988The Victorian refugee screening programme, in contrast to similar programmes elsewhere in Australia, includes an examination for faecal parasites. The results of such screening at Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital for the 16-month period December 1, 1984-March 31, 1986 are presented. For most of the population groups that were studied, there was a

[The serodiagnosis of parasitic infections].
Parassitologia, 2004Recently, the term of clinical immunoparasitology has been coined to indicate the application of immunological methods to the laboratory diagnosis of parasitic infections. In particular, serological diagnosis (indirect diagnosis) is useful especially in the cases of toxocarosis, trichinellosis, echinococcosis, cysticercosis, toxoplasmosis, amoebic ...

Parasitic infections and myositis
Parasitology Research, 2011Infectious myositis may be caused by a wide variety of bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic agents. Parasitic myositis is most commonly a result of trichinosis, cystericercosis, or toxoplasmosis, but other parasites may be involved. A parasitic cause of myositis is suggested by history of residence or travel to endemic area and presence of ...

Chemotherapy of parasitic infections
Nature, 1978Although several good antiparasitic agents are available, new drugs are needed for the treatment of diseases such as chloroquine-resistant malaria, Chagas' disease, leishmaniasis and filariasis. The 'semirational approach' should be the basis for their synthesis.

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1998
Emerging spore-forming protozoa such as cryptosporidia and microsporidia are becoming major public health problems in developing countries as well as in the developed world. They are a new addition to an already long list of intestinal parasites, but their diagnosis is much more difficult than for well-known protozoa and helminths.

Videodermatoscopy represents a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool for pediculosis and scabies. It is quick and easy to perform and well-accepted by patients, as it does not cause physical or psychological discomfort. Moreover, videodermatoscopic examination may be useful in assessing the activity of different topical treatments and may enhance patient ...

Vaccines for Parasitic Infections
1989Publisher Summary This chapter discusses vaccines for parasite infections. It has been reported that in many parasitic diseases more information is required to identify those proteins that should be included in a subunit vaccine. This is especially true for those parasites having many stages with different antigens, each inducing a complex immune ...

Parasitic Infections and Nutrition
1955Publisher Summary It has frequently been written and taught that malnutrition and parasitic infestation are, as it were, synergistic in producing ill-health; that, on one hand, malnutrition decreases the resistance of the host to invasion by parasites and to their survival in his body and on the other, parasites cause or precipitate malnutrition in ...
