Many cytoplasmic vesicles lined with ribosomes are present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Asymptomatic

  Asymptomatic infected individuals harboring genotypes II, III and IV exhibited mild to moderate inflammatory changes. Genotype I isolates were not detected in asymptomatic infected group. [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]

• 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]

  All patients had abdominal pain, as it was a selection criterion. [journals.lww.com]

• Tenesmus

  Four weeks post transplant she developed tenesmus, mucoid stool mixed with blood and lower abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Diarrhoea was seen in 53 (26%) while constipation, constipation alternating with diarrhoea and tenesmus were observed in a few patients. 49 out of 58 patients with an increased gastro-colic reflex were positive for blastocystis hominis (84%). [journals.lww.com]

• Melena

  He denied any unintentional weight loss, nausea, vomiting, intermittent constipation, melena, hematemesis, fevers or chills. He also denied any recent travel, sick contacts, changes in dietary habits or any recent antibiotic use. [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]

• 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]

• Cutaneous Manifestation

  Cutaneous manifestations were not related to a specific inducing factor, had no benefit from antihystamine and steroid drugs and were associated sometimes with mild gastroentric disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• 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]

It may be identified during a workup for gastrointestinal symptoms, usually in stool examined for ova and parasites. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• 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]

(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]

Conclusion : Blastocystis hominis could be the etiology of chronic urticaria. Downloads Download data is not yet available. [jhsci.ba]

Extensive evaluation failed to reveal any other potential etiologic agent of acute colitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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 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]

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]
