Abstract
Um das Vorkommen von Entamoeba histolytica bei Reisenden in warme Länder zu bestimmen, wurden 1000 Tropenrückkehrer auf intestinale Parasiten im Stuhl untersucht. Die häufigsten pathogenen intestinalen Parasiten waren Giardia lamblia mit 5,0 % und E. histolytica mit 3,6 %. Bei den 36 E.-histolytica-Isolaten gelang in 21 Fällen die Isoenzymdifferenzierung mittels Stärkegel-Elektrophorese, die in vier Fällen (19 %) ein pathogenes Isoenzymmuster ergab. Dieses korrelierte deutlich mit der klinischen Symptomatik und positiven Serologie, während E. histolytica mit nichtpathogenem Zymodem nicht als Durchfallerreger zu betrachten ist. Stools from 1000 travellers returning from the tropics were examined for intestinal parasites. The most frequently isolated intestinal pathogens were Giardia lamblia (5 %) and E. histolytica (3.6 %). For 21 out of 36 E. histolytica isolates iso-enzyme differentiation by starch-gel electrophoresis was possible, yielding a pathogenic pattern in four. This finding correlated closely with clinical symptoms and positive serology, while E. histolytica with non-pathogenic zymodeme should not be considered as a cause of diarrhoea.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
