Objectives: To evaluating the concentration level of IL-10 in serum of patients suffering from digestive disorders Blastocystis parasitic infection and compared with control group by using ELISA. Methadology: Case-control study design was conducted on 70 patients (33 males and 37 females) at Al-Sadr medical city and Al-Hakim General Hospital and Al-Sajad Hospital. A control group of 70 participitant (29 males and 41 females) who were without any history of disease were included. Their ages ranged between (6 - ≥ 60) years, during the period from the beginning of November 2021 to the end of February 2022. Results: The results showed (48.6%) of culture positive for B.hominis. The results of immunoassay showed mean difference ± standard error difference of IL-10 was (5.878 ± 10.462 Pg/ml) with a 95% confidence interval was (14.809-26.565) in intestinal disorder patients with significant difference (P˂0.001). Conclusion: Interleukin-10 concentration levels have a significant effect on the results of Blastocystosis patients suffering from digestive disorders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
