Presentation

A male and three female patients aged 12-45 years presented with severe diarrhoea of 1-7 months duration associated with vomiting and central abdominal colics. Stools were yellowish or greenish and voluminous.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Herein, we report the case of a 22-year-old male who was admitted to the Emergency Department with continuous abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed an ileal intussusception.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pain can last for weeks and there’s no vaccine – the only way to get the worm out is to gradually wrap it around a stick. The head-splitting fungus – Cordyceps fungi Erich G.[sciencefocus.com]
Giardia infections often lead to painful stomach cramping that can last up to six weeks. Pinworms are just what they sound like: tiny, thin, white worms that can grow to be up to a quarter-inch long. They are often transferred via dirt or waste.[wonderopolis.org]

Thirty hours later the peripheral parasitaemia cleared with resolution of fever and haemoglobinuria.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Artemisinin resistance should be distinguished when prolonged parasite clearance is found in a malaria patient who has had splenectomy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Most cases of babesiosis reported in the United States have been tickborne and caused by Babesia microti, the etiologic agent of all previously described transfusion-transmitted cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

At the end of the treatment, duodenal biopsy specimens obtained from three patients were studied by transmission electron microscopy by two pathologists who were unaware of the patients' treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
I hope they can work as well for you, but please be patient with the treatment.[superfoodprofiles.com]

[…] review shows that a standardization initiative is essential to guide researchers and clinical laboratories towards the achievement of a robust and reproducible methodology, which will permit further evaluation of parasite load as a surrogate marker of prognosis[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

One challenging issue in the diagnosis of anisakiasis is the molecular detection of the etiological agent even at very low quantity, such as in gastric or intestinal biopsy and granulomas.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnosis is performed by combining clinical and epidemiological features, and through the detection of Leishmania parasites (or DNA) in tissue specimens or trough parasite isolation in culture medium.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
