A Study of Stool Sample From Hiv Positive and Hiv Negative at Andhra Pradesh.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the variations, if any, in the types of intestinal parasites in HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals.Methods: Study group 75 HIV positive cases, Control group HIV non reactive 51, total 125 faecal sample examined For HIV conformation screening test like TRI DOT, ELISA , for conformation HIV by using PCR, for stool examination used by following test like microscopic examination, formal ether concentration technique, saline wet mount,iodine wet mount, formal ethe sedimentation , modified acid fast stain.Results: For the purpose of statistical analysis, the enteric parasites are divided into the coccidian group (Cryptosporidium+Isospora belli) and conventional enteric parasites (Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia intestinalis, and Ascaris lumbricoides), and enteric parasitic infection is more common in HIV-positive patients with diarrhea than HIV-positive patient without diarrhea or HIV-negative individuals. Conclusion:The study period of 1 year and 8 months revealed that it is difficult to locate/identify a HIV-positive person in a place like Kadapa on account of confidentiality/lack of awareness among the population. Detection of intestinal parasites is 17.3% in HIV-positive patients and 12% in HIV-negative individuals.

“…They also have other effects such as analgesic, anti-angiogenesis, anti-HIV virus, and anti-parasites, including Plasmodium spp., Giardia spp., Leishmania spp., etc. [17,18,36,3].…”

“…Humans are generally infected through ingesting contaminated water and food, as well as person-to-person transmission. The most people at risk for giardiasis are children in day-care settings, child-care workers, institutionalized individuals, and travelers in endemic areas via ingestion of contaminated or recreational water, immunodeficiency, cystic fibrosis, and oral-anal sex [2,3]. Although the disease is mostly asymptomatic, a number of clinical symptoms such as diarrhoea, steatorrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss are presented in the infected children [4].…”
