development of tissue cysts in asymptomatic infections. Toxoplasmosis in humans can be identified by isolation, serology, histology, molecular detection, ABSTRACT Background: In immunocompromised individuals, e.g. diabetics, toxoplasmosis is one of the significant opportunistic illnesses. The sensitivity and susceptibility to infections increases in diabetic patients causing severe health consequences unless diagnosed and treated early. Objective: The study was performed to detect the possible association between toxoplasmosis and both types of diabetes mellitus linked with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Methods: The study included 180 serum samples, 90 from diabetic patients and 90 healthy controls. Diabetic cases were divided into 22 diagnosed as type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and 68 type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Sera were tested for Toxoplasma IgG antibodies using ELISA technique, and HbA1c levels were estimated in all diabetic patients.

Background: Trichomoniasis is the most common curable sexually transmitted disease worldwide, suspected of increasing the risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine influence of trichomoniasis on pregnancy outcome, detect the rate of trichomoniasis during pregnancy and to identify the risk factors of trichomoniasis. Patients and Methods: Vaginal swabs were obtained from 200 pregnant females with a gestational age of 13 to 40 weeks calculated according to the last menstrual cycle. Clinical examination, vaginal discharge wet mount, Giemsa stain, and culture in modified Diamond’s media were performed. Metronidazole treatment was given for all positive cases. Patients were advised to encourage their partners to receive the same treatment. Sociodemographic information was collected, and cases were divided into two groups, the study group (infected) and the control group (not infected). Pregnancy outcome (full term delivery, preterm labor, premature membrane rupture, low birth weight infants) was assessed according to the elapsed time from the first sonogram to the week of delivery.

different tissues and organs of helminths, the process is time consuming. In addition, the critical step ABSTRACT Background: Permanent staining of helminths is important for different purposes including taxonomic and prevalence studies as well as teaching. Carmine is one of the most commonly used dyes; however, variable factors affect the quality of the staining outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to find an alternative stain that is efficient, accurate, and less complex. Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the quality of a combined lactophenol methylene blue-blue glycerol jelly (LMB-BGJ) technique as a potential alternative for staining of helminths compared with carmine-based staining and glycerol jelly mounting techniques. Material and Methods: S. mansoni and T. spiralis were obtained from experimentally infected animals. A new staining technique (LMB-BGJ) was used for both parasites in comparison with carmine stain in case of S. mansoni and glycerol jelly mounting in case of T. spiralis . Comparison was conducted using examination under light microscope and a mean score was given for the structural brightness, and extent of staining of tegument/cuticle, suckers, intestine, as well as reproductive systems. Results: S. mansoni worms prepared with both carmine staining and LMB-BGJ showed moderate staining quality of tegument,
