Asymptomatic
[…] sera from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Military Personnel
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of B. hominis in Polish military personnel returning from peacekeeping missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. In total, 1,826 stool samples were examined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
-
Diarrhea
Only the associations between infection with B. hominis and E. nana with diarrhea were statistically significant. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Abdominal Pain
The mean number of B. hominis was significantly high in patients complaining of diarrhoea and abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Abdominal Mass
The initial radiologic evaluation showed free air in the abdominal cavity and an abdominal mass. Abdominal fluid submitted for cytologic examination was diagnostic of acute inflammation with mixed bacteria and abundant cystlike forms of B hominis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Lower Abdominal Pain
Four weeks post transplant she developed tenesmus, mucoid stool mixed with blood and lower abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Abdominal Tenderness
Two children aged 12 and 11 years with a similar history of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and fever with abdominal tenderness, and muscle guarding at the right lower quadrant for few days were admitted to our hospital. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
-
Angioedema
In this case report we describe a 49 year-old man who presented with chronic urticaria, angioedema and soft stool consistency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Urticaria and angioedema are easily recognized disorders, but in at least 70 percent of individuals, chronic episodes of urticaria are of unknown causes. [aaaai.org]
-
Insect Bite
Acute urticaria has many causative factors, which may include infections, medications (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, contraceptives and others), insect bites, physical stimuli, allergens or underlying systemic disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
It may be identified during a workup for gastrointestinal symptoms, usually in stool examined for ova and parasites. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
X-Ray
-
Colonic Stricture
We describe a case in which B hominis was identified by cytologic examination in a patient with Crohn's disease who underwent colonoscopy and brushing of a transverse colon stricture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Blastocystis Hominis Infection can depend on the overall health of the affected individual. [dovemed.com]
Prognosis Blastocystis can remain in the intestines for weeks, months, or years. Some patients with this organism in their stools who have symptoms improve with no treatment at all. [diagnose-me.com]
I think I read in a paper that long-term prognosis was worse for those that underwent treatment. I tried to read the papers about blastocystis and I couldn't reach any conclusion other that no one understands it. [ibsgroup.org]
Etiology
Extensive evaluation failed to reveal any other potential etiologic agent of acute colitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Conclusion : Blastocystis hominis could be the etiology of chronic urticaria. Downloads Download data is not yet available. [jhsci.ba]
Epidemiology
The aim of this study was to evaluate the molecular epidemiology of B. hominis and its subtype distribution in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The present book evaluates in chapters contributed by renowned researchers the latest findings on: •Landmarks in the discovery of Blastocystis •Epidemiology, transmission and zoonotic potential •Morphology of human and animal Blastocystis isolates •Clinical [books.google.ro]
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiologic mechanism of the diarrhea is not clear. Not all patients having large parasite burdens are symptomatic. Metronidazole, 1 to 2 gm/day orally in divided doses, is the treatment of choice. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] variety of disorders, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, constipation, flatulence, chronic gastrointestinal illnesses (irritable bowel syndrome), and skin rash or urticaria. results support the hypothesis that Blastocystis might be linked to the pathophysiology [alexmanos.co.uk]

Prevention
For the first time in the literature we show that eradication of Blastocystis hominis can prevent the development of both symptomatic Hashimoto's thyroiditis and chronic urticaria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
