A Dangerous Relationship: A Case of Imported < em > Plasmodium falciparum < /em > and < em > Salmonella < /em > Typhi Coinfection
Turkiye Parazitol Derg. 2024 Mar 5;48(1):58-61. doi: 10.4274/tpd.galenos.2024.71463.ABSTRACTMalaria is a parasitic disease transmitted by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Although domestic malaria case notification in our country is not seen in World Health Organization records, cases originating from abroad are detected. Travelers to countries where malaria is endemic can become infected with the parasite. In our country, an average of 200-250 cases of malaria originating from abroad are reported every year. Approximately 75% of malaria cases of foreign origin detected in our country are P. falciparum malaria. Mal...

Multiple Cerebral Hydatic Cyst Developed After Operation of Cardiac Hydatic Cyst: A Case Report
Turkiye Parazitol Derg. 2024 Mar 5;48(1):62-65. doi: 10.4274/tpd.galenos.2024.18480.ABSTRACTHydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease and is an important health problem, especially in developing countries. Hydatic cysts are typically observed in the liver and lungs. Cardiac and brain involvement are rare manifestations. Cardiac hydatic cysts are usually located in the left ventricle. Brain involvement is frequently seen as a primary cerebral cyst and is almost always solitary. However, secondary intracerebral cysts are also seen as a result of cardiac cysts rupturing into the left ventricle spontaneously or iatrogenically, and th...

Acanthocephala Species of Mammals in T ürkiye and A New Species Record from Foxes
This study provides the anatomy of the acanthocephalans and the laboratory practice necessary for a good and reliable diagnosis. This study reports a new species, Pachysentis sp., of acanthocephalan (thorny-headed worm) found in red foxes for Türkiye. On the basis of relevant articles, we have created a key to Acanthocephala species occurring in mammals.PMID:38449371 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.92063 (Source: Turkish Society for Parasitology)

Investigation of Sensitivity of Rapid Diagnosis Tests in Patients with Suspected Malaria
CONCLUSION: As a result, high sensitivity and specificity were detected in both kits in the diagnosis of malaria infections caused by P. falciparum and P. vivax. Rapid diagnostic tests can be used safely in diagnosis however the diagnosis should be supported by microscopy and RT-PCR methods when they are applicable.PMID:38449360 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2024.38358 (Source: Turkish Society for Parasitology)

Congenital Toxoplasmosis and Long-term Outcomes
CONCLUSION: In our study, we observed severe sequelae in vision, hearing, and neurodevelopmental aspects in children diagnosed with CT at birth and during follow-ups. Early diagnosis and treatment of infants, along with the detection of Toxoplasma infection during pregnancy, are essential in preventing severe sequelae that may arise due to CT.PMID:38449361 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2024.74046 (Source: Turkish Society for Parasitology)
