BLASTOCYSTIS HOMINIS IN DIABETIC AND NON-DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME IN BENI-SUEF CITY, EGYPT
Blastocystis is an opportunistic infection that is considered to cause gastro-intestinal symptoms, including inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS). It was also found that diabetic patients might be at a higher risk of infection with intestinal parasites causing gastro-intestinal symptoms especially Blastocystis. This study assessed the rate of Blastocystis infection in patients suffering from IBS associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), in comparison with the non-diabetic IBS group. Two hundred stool samples were collected. All the participants were IBS-diagnosed patients. It is noted that 100 were without any history of chronic diseases based on history taking, while the other 100 were known to be diabetic. Blastocystis was diagnosed by direct microscopy of wet preparations; Lugol's iodine staining after concentration, and Modified Jones' Culture. Blastocystis was detected in 37%, 65%, & 87% samples, respectively in IBS diabetic patients. But, the parasite was found in 21%, 25%, & 42% samples, respectively in IBS non-diabetic patients. The only considerable risk factor for Blastocystis infection was the presence of DM, as it increased the possibility of infection more than 9 times.
