Human Protozoal Pathogens and Potentially Pathogenic Amoebae

Human Protozoal Pathogens and Potentially Pathogenic Amoebae

Intestinal protozoa that infect humans are found worldwide, in both the developed and the developing world. However, their prevalence is highest in the developing countries, where they are responsible for much morbidity. The pathogenic intestinal protozoa tend to affect either the small intestine, large intestine or both. Those that affect the small intestine are mainly Giardia intestinalis and Cryptosporidium parvum and tend to affect children while Entamoeba histolytica that affects all age groups (with its most profound effect on adults) have predilection for the large bowel. The epidemiology of intestinal protozoa has developed rapidly with the advent of HIV/AIDS and cancer chemotherapy. Free-living amoebiae that are exclusively parasitic are normally found in water and soil are known to cause some important diseases in man; three of these are: primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, granulomatous amoebic encephalitis with invasion of other tissues and chronic amoebic keratitis. This book provides quick reference material for clinical presentation, complications, diagnosis, management and prevention of amoebae - related infections.
Clinical and Historical Perspectives of Schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis is one of the parasitic infections caused by flukes of the genus Schistosoma, which cause the acute or chronic form of the disease in humans. The alternative name of the disease is bilharziasis. The disease is transmitted by specific amphibious or aquatic snails that are found in a wide variety of freshwater habitats. Five different species of schistosomes are responsible for infecting human beings; these are: Shistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum, Schistosoma intercalatum and Schistosoma mekongi. Beside learning the basics of schistosomiasis among other diseases, it is important for all categories of learners to appreciate that although control of schistosomiasis has considerably improved in many parts of the world, challenges still exist and the war against the disease is far from over. The information in this book will enable the reader to appreciate the contemporary efforts towards understanding transmission, clinical manifestations, complications, treatment and prevention of schistosomiasis.
Clinical and Historical Perspectives of Toxoplasmosis

Clinical and Historical Perspectives of Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis is a protozoan infection that has a cosmopolitan distribution and has also been documented as the commonest opportunistic infection affecting the central nervous system among patients with HIV/AIDS in developed countries, especially among those not taking appropriate prophylactic treatment. Although the human infection is usually asymptomatic or mild, the disease entity is life-threatening among immune-compromised patients, who frequently develop cerebral toxoplasmosis along with other associated opportunistic infections that are typically seen among HIV/AIDS patients. Healthcare teachers deployed to work in busy healthcare institutions and learners under their instruction require quick reference material to guide in diagnosis and management of toxoplasmosis. This book therefore provides the summarized essential details to enable the readers save on time while searching for relevant information required for pathophysiology, clinical presentation, complications, diagnosis and management of toxoplasmosis.

Die Toxoplasmose ist eine kosmopolitisch verbreitete Protozoeninfektion, die auch als die h ufigste opportunistische Infektion des zentralen Nervensystems bei HIV/AIDS-Patienten in den Industriel ndern dokumentiert ist, insbesondere bei denjenigen, die keine angemessene prophylaktische Behandlung erhalten. Obwohl die Infektion beim Menschen in der Regel asymptomatisch oder mild verl uft, ist die Krankheit bei immungeschw chten Patienten lebensbedrohlich, da diese h ufig eine zerebrale Toxoplasmose zusammen mit anderen opportunistischen Infektionen entwickeln, die typischerweise bei HIV/AIDS-Patienten auftreten. Lehrkr fte im Gesundheitswesen, die in vielbesch ftigten Gesundheitseinrichtungen arbeiten, und die von ihnen unterrichteten Lernenden ben tigen schnelles Nachschlagematerial, das sie bei der Diagnose und Behandlung von Toxoplasmose unterst tzt. Dieses Buch bietet daher eine Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Details, damit die Leser bei der Suche nach relevanten Informationen zur Pathophysiologie, klinischen Pr sentation, Komplikationen, Diagnose und Behandlung der Toxoplasmose Zeit sparen k nnen.
