In addition to the density of the organism, the CagA pathogenicity island (PAI) of H pylori is thought to be a primary factor contributing to the antral inflammation. Endoscopic findings are believed to be non contributory in the diagnosis. In this study, we have shown that endoscopic features like erythema, erosions and nodularity maybe contributory in predicting the presence of H pylori in the biopsy specimen. The primary factor influencing the degree of inflammation in gastritis appears to be the density of H pylori in the antrum. The CagA pathogenicity island does not appear to have a role in influencing the severity of the antral inflammation. The role of other H pylori antigens remains undetermined.","PeriodicalId":331725,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Tropical Medicine","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126761421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The major manifestation as nodular migratory eosinophilic panniculitis is suggested for this disease. More severe presentations, resulting from visceral larva migran, such as ocular and CNS gnathostomiasis are also reported. The diagnosis is confirmed by identification of the parasite from the pathological specimen. However, it is difficult to get the histological diagnosis, therefore, the immunological diagnosis for this infection is necessary. At present, Gnathostoma spinigerum third stage larvae (L3) antigen is necessary for Western blot analysis in the diagnosis of Gnathostomiasis ( 2 , 3). Acid pepsin solution is required for digestion of eel's liver (Fluta alba) to yield the larvae for antigen preparation. However, the specific antigen is excretion secretory (ES) antigen, which can be derived from viable larva. Since the larva start to degenerate within a short period, therefore, the larva derived from digestion must be used before its death. Here, we reported our result in using the BME culture medium for cultivation of the derived larva to prolong the period of usage of the harvested larva in antigen preparation.","PeriodicalId":331725,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Tropical Medicine","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115213833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Usually, humans acquire the infection by consumption of G. spinigerum L3s infected hosts as partially cooked or uncooked food. Of several uncooked food, the highest prevalence of G. spinigerum L3s was found in Fluta alba (swamp eels). In Thailand, data of the prevalence and concentration of the parasite in these second intermedate hosts are limited. To provide this basic public health information, study of the distribution of Gnathostoma infective larvae in second intermediate hosts is necessary. We report here the findings of a study of G. spinigerum L3s in the livers of swamp eels from several wandering eel selling stalls in Bangkok to fulfill those previous studies. A total of 368 viscera of swamp eels for this study were obtained from several wandering eel selling stalls in order to study the prevalence of contaminated gnathostome L3s. The prevalence of L3s contamination is 15 %. The average number of larvae recovered was about 0.02 larvae/g of liver. In addition, there were also other recovered parasites such as Acanthocephalans and minute flukes. the authors concluded that the contamination of L3 in the swamp eels in Thailand is high and can be seen in any selling sources or season although there are some previous reports on the setting or seasonal predominance of contamination. We hypothesize that the finding is due to the wide distribution of the swamp eels from the original sources to several selling places, markets and wandering stalls in Thailand. The better transportation system in Thailand at present can be solution of this finding.","PeriodicalId":331725,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Tropical Medicine","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125840025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
