Treatment of intestinal protozoan infections in children
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2009Intestinal protozoan infections are a worldwide problem in both industrialised and unindustrialised countries; in the latter they may be the cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Children, in particular, are more likely to experience considerable morbidity.

Intestinal protozoan disease diagnosed in pregnancy is mostly controlled by symptomatic treatment. Specific therapy can be delayed until after delivery. Only severe cases, i.e. continued diarrhea leading to malnutrition of either mother or fetus, require an immediate specific drug therapy, which might be harmful to the fetus due to toxic and ...

Intestinal Protozoan Infection in a Semicommunal Group
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1983A survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of protozoan parasites in a large semicommunal group in Los Angeles. Protozoan parasites were observed in 151 (69%) of the 220 group members in the study. Parasites were observed in stool specimens from 105 (76%) of the 138 children and 46 (56%) of the 82 adults.

Human Waterborne Trematode and Protozoan Infections
2007Waterborne trematode and protozoan infections inflict considerable morbidity on healthy, i.e., immunocompetent people, and may cause life-threatening diseases among immunocompromised and immunosuppressed populations. These infections are common, easily transmissible, and maintain a worldwide distribution, although waterborne trematode infections remain

Therapy and Prophylaxis of Systemic Protozoan Infections
Drugs, 1990This article summarises current therapy and prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii, Toxoplasma gondii, Leishmania species, African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and T. b. rhodesiense), and American trypanosome (Trypanosoma cruzi) infections. Each agent and the disease it causes is briefly reviewed, and current data on the structure, mode of ...

The role of interferons in parasitic protozoan infection
Parasitology Today, 1986Interferons are well-known for their role as a first line defence against viral attack, but they also modulate the host immune system in responses to protozoan infections. In this article, John Kelly explains what interferons are, and discusses their potential role against parasitic infection.

Poultry has protozoa that are classified into multiple taxonomic groupings. In poultry, two types of parasites are significant: the coccidia and the mastiogophora (flagellates). Some parasites, which cause coccidiosis, have short, direct life cycles and are therefore preferred, while other parasites that involve intermediate hosts typically do not pose

[Physiopathology of protozoan infections].
Comptes rendus des seances de la Societe de biologie et de ses filiales, 1997The pathophysiology of diseases produced by protozoal infections is caused not only by a direct effect of the parasites on their host (e.g. host cell lysis or parasite adherence), but also by indirect effects, where molecules of parasite origin exert an effect on host cells, which in turn produces a cascade of events (including the secretion of ...

Protozoan Infections in Pregnancy
1985Protozoans, unique single-cell organisms unlike the rest of the animal phyla, are distributed throughout nature. Only a small number are pathogens. Considering their diversity and the changes in the environment and host responses resulting from human industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, and living practices, we should not be surprised to ...
