Comparison of Some Immunological Parameters Associated with Entamoeba Histolytica and Giardia Lamblia Infections in People with Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

The current study was conducted on people with type 2 diabetes, E. histolytica and G. lamblia, in Salah El-Din General Hospital and some private laboratories in Tikrit city in Salah El-Din governorate, on age groups ranging from (20-50) years, during the extended period. From 09/20/2020 to 05/1/2021. The cases of infection with E. histolytica and G. lamblia parasites were diagnosed by examining faecal samples using a direct swab method using a light microscope to detect the trophic and cystic stages.The results showed a significant increase in the concentration of IgA, IgM, IL-8 and TNF-α in all the studied groups compared with the control group, while there was a significant decrease in the concentration of IgA and IgM among people with diabetes, while there was no change in the concentration of TNF-α in people with diabetes compared with the control group.
