Estimating Serum Level of Human Monocyte Chemotactic Protien-1 (MCP-1) and Human Interferon Gamma Induced Protein 10 Kda (IP-10) in Patiants Infected with Entamoeba Histolytica

Abstract

The current study was conducted to find out the effect of infection with Entamoeba histolytica on the level of concentration Human Monocyte Chemotactic Protien(MCP-1) and Human Interferon Gamma induced protrin 10 KDa(IP-10) in serum of the infected patiants. Blood samples were collected from the infected persons from AL- Najaf Alashrf city for the period from 1/9/2020 to 31/1/ 2021, The number of patients examined during the total study period reached 70 patients, while the number of control samples was 20.
