Abstract

Introduction and objectives: Intestinal parasitic infections are amongst the most common infections worldwide. The SPOROZOAn PROTOZOA causing various GASTROENTERITIS in human, depending of their type and pathogenecity. These parasites causes a severe but self-limiting diarrhea in immunocompetent hosts, but the infection can be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals. Infection is via fecal-oral transmission, which can occur by consuming contaminated drinking water, raw or undercooked food handled by an infected person, by direct contact with an infected animal or by exposure to contaminated recreational water. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of SPOROZOAn PROTOZOA and other ENTEROPATHOGENic parasites in patients with GASTROENTERITIS from GILAN Province. In this study, 617 stool samples of suspected human with GASTROENTERITIS, were collected from patients referred to the Rasht Central Laboratory in Alzahra Hospital during one year 2008-09. All samples were examined directly and fixed in fixation buffer, then centrifuged by Paraseb kit. Three smears were prepared and applied with Acid Fest Staining (AFS), Auramin Phenol Flourescence (APF) and Giemsa Staining. The overall prevalence rate of parasitic infections was 3.9%, and the most common parasites were Giardia lamblia (1.5%), Entemoeba coli (0.2%), Entemoeba histolytica (0.3%), Cyclospora sp. (0.6%), Strongyluides sp. (0.2%), Cryptosporidium sp. (1.1%), Taenia sp. (0.2%) and the prevalence rate of Microsporidium sp. and Isospora sp. was zero. Detection of SPOROZOAn parasites is uncommon in routine stool examinations in most laboratories and there is not also request to examine SPOROZOAn parasites in stool. Due to importance of them among immunocompromised patients, the need for establishment of diagnostic methods is emphasized here.
