Biología: Entamoeba y Sarcomastigophora

A parasite that falls under the category of Sporozoans

A type of amoeba, specifically a protozoan parasite. Its life cycle has different stages like trophzoite, pre-cysts, and cyst. The cyst is the infectious stage.

A group of protozoan parasites, belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa, characterized by having an asexual reproduction.

A parasitic trematode, specifically a flukes, infecting the liver.

A group of parasitic cestodes, commonly known as tapeworms.

Una sola lesión en la piel.

El borde de una herida o lesión que se eleva por encima de la piel circundante.

Una úlcera causada por Kinetoplasmidos, a menudo indolora y se resuelve espontáneamente en meses.

Infección causada por Leishmania braziliensis, que puede extenderse a las mucosas.

Una lesión extendida en la piel con una apariencia plana.

Organismos que causan úlcera de chicleros

Se realiza mediante raspado de la lesión para examen histológico o aspirado de nódulos linfáticos para cultivo del protozoo.

Depende de factores como diseminación, localización, numero de lesiones y evolución. El antimonio pentavalente es recomendado para rápida resolución.

Inflammation and swelling of the nasal tissues, often accompanied by redness.

Open sore on the nasal mucous membrane, possibly painless.

A parasitic disease, often causing skin sores, particularly in the nasal area.

A hole in the nasal septum, usually due to tissue damage.

Leishmaniasis that returns after apparent healing, a recurring parasitic infection.

Methods to directly find the parasite; like microscopic examinations, cultures.

Methods that detect the patient's immune response to the parasite.

A specific type of leishmaniasis often affecting immunocompromised patients, forming nodules instead of sores.

A sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis.

Protein-degrading enzymes that play a role in the pathogenesis of trichomoniasis.

A protein associated with trichomoniasis that likely plays a pathogenic role.

Abnormal vaginal discharge, a symptom in trichomoniasis.

A characteristic sign of trichomoniasis, a reddish appearance of the cervix.

A disease caused by the Leishmania protozoan, transmitted by sandflies.

Infective form of Leishmania that resides in the sandfly vector.

Infectious stage of Leishmania that resides inside a host's macrophage.

Insect that transmits Leishmania parasites.

Variety of antimicrobials, such as metronidazole, ornidazole, tinidazole, secnidazole.

Characterized by prolonged fever, enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), and potentially anemia and low white blood cell count (leucopenia).

Promastigotes are the infectious stage, while amastigotes are the parasitic stage, causing damage in the liver and spleen.

Tissue sample (biopsy) is taken, processed, and examined for the presence of amastigotes (using Giemsa stain).

A sample is taken and cultured in special media to promote parasite growth (observing for Promastigotes)

The parasitic stage of Leishmania, typically found inside host cells.

A skin test to detect delayed hypersensitivity reactions to Leishmania, often used in epidemiological studies.

The Lutzomyia genus (mosquitoes) are the blood-feeding vectors transmitting the infection.

Uses antiseptic liquids to remove debris, dead tissue, and pus from the lesions.

Mechanism where a pathogen changes its surface proteins to evade the immune system's response.

Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of blood samples (thick/thin smears), rapid antigen tests, and PCR to identify the parasite, species, and potential drug resistance.

Treatment focuses on eliminating all blood stages utilizing Artemisinin.

Treatment using Artemisinin to target both blood and liver stages, followed by primaquine to combat relapses.

Infection caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii.

Symptoms depend on the patient's immune status; often asymptomatic.

Pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals (e.g., HIV patients), and gardeners are at higher risk.

Blood samples are typically checked every 6-8 hours for 3 days.
