The aims of this study was concerned on the evaluation the etiology of diarrhea (parasitic (E. histolytica and G. lamblia) and Celiac disease in children under five years and its effectiveness on the some laboratory investigations which is the complete blood picture (CBP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP), the sero-prevalence of celiac disease; in which two types of autoantibodies was studied, anti-gliadin (IgG and IgA), and anti-tissutransglutaminase (IgG and IgA); A total of 67 children with diarrhea have been diagnostic, E. histolytica recorded the largest group 36 sample followed by G. lamblia 23 sample, and Sero-positive celiac disease only 8 children. the E. histolytica was mostly at 4-5 years (36.1%) and G. lamblia was mostly in age 1-2 and 2-3 years (30.4%). we found that most of neutrophilia and eosinophilia cases were in E. histolytica and G. lamblia. Hemoglobin concentration show a significant decrease in patients with diarrhea. Abnormal ESR and CRP titer reading has been in shows higher mean values with E. histolytica and Sero-positive celiac disease then followed by G. lamblia.
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.
