7
8 Auto fluorescence Prepare direct smear or a smear from Ridley sediment in saline (not JKJ) Screen smear with fluorescence microscope with excitation filter nm (20x10; details 40x10) oöcyst wall: blue/white fluorescent Also for SAF preserved samples
9 Treatment Cyclospora / Cystoisospora belli Co-trimoxazol 2dd TMP 160 mg SMX 800 mg x 7-10 d Children 2dd TMP 5 mg/kg SMX 25 mg/kg x 7-10 d
10 Cryptosporidium HIV / AIDS Waterborne outbreaks
11 Clinical presentation Immunocompetent individuals: Self-limiting diarrhea Vomiting Nausea, decreased appetite, weight loss, flatulence Abdominal pain and cramps. Immunocompromised individuals: CD4 Tcell-count <200 mm3 persistent diarrheal infection >30 days severe illness.
12 Clinical presentation / species - Cryptosporidium parvum - Cryptosporidium hominis - other species (eg C felis) non pathogenic 4 humans
13 Treatment - Metronidazole / Tinidazole - Secnidazole - Clioquinol - Albendazol - Paromomycine - Cotrimoxazole - Doxycycline - In different dosages / combinations
14 Nitazoxanide - Alinia / Annita. FDA approved > 11 jaar 2dd 500 mg 3 dagen - Nitrothiazolyl- salicylamide derivaat - 2-acetyloxy-N-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)benzamide - Metabolized to tizoxamide - Pyruvaat:ferredoxine oxidoreductase (PFOR) - Anaerobe energie metabolisme (Giardia)
15 Placebo controlled trials Nitazoxanide: 3-day course of nitazoxanide significantly improved the resolution of diarrhoea, parasitological eradication, and mortality in HIVseronegative, but not HIVseropositive,children. Rossignol JF, Ayoub A, Ayers MS. J Infect Dis Jul 1;184(1): Amadi B, Mwiya M, Musuku J, Watuka A, Sianongo S, Ayoub A, Kelly P. Lancet ;360(9343): In immunocompromised individuals there is no evidence for effective treatment (paromomycine and nitazoxanide) The most effective therapy in patients with AIDS is highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) of HIV. Abubakar I, Aliyu SH, Arumugam C, Hunter PR, Usman NK. Cochrane Database Syst Rev Jan 24;(1): Prevention and treatment of cryptosporidiosis in immunocompromised patients..
16 Due to the seriousness of the potential outcomes of cryptosporidiosis, the use of nitaxozanide should be considered in immunocompromised patients Abubakar I, Aliyu SH, Arumugam C, Hunter PR, Usman NK. Cochrane Database Syst Rev Jan 24;(1): Prevention and treatment of cryptosporidiosis in immunocompromised patients..
17 Additional techniques 4 diagnosis of intestinal parasites

21 Schistosomiasis Glycerin sedimentation Serology (time lag between possible exposition testing minimal 8 weeks!)
22 Strongyloides stercoralis Immunocompromised / transplantation Baermann technique for rabditiform larvae Hookworm!! genital premordium Culture for filariform larvae Hookworm: tapered tail Stongyloides: forked tail Serology (timelag!!)
23 High probability of helminth eg refugees infection Ridley concentration from all 3 fecal samples ( 2 SAF fixed, 1 fresh)
24 Microsporidium Profound diarrhoea in immunocompromised patient in particular HIV/AIDS (CD4 < 100) Saline Ridley / no wooden sticks Calcofluor staining Trichrome acc weber PCR Spores are very small
25 Non- morfological techniques Copro ELISA PCR
26 Potential pro s and cons No specialized personnel in parasite morfology is needed anymore Expensive training program For ELISA every laboratory can do it For PCR trained personnel and molecular facilities are mandatory Antigens and DNA are shedded continuously; so single sample testing is sufficient
27 Frequently found intestinal parasites in the Netherlands Protozoans Giardia lamblia Entamoeba histolytica/dispar Cryptosporidium spp Cyclospora cayetanensis Dientamoeba fragilis Cytoisospora belli Microsporidium spp Blastocystis hominis Endolimax nana Entamoeba hartmanni Entamoeba coli Enteromonas hominis Iodamoeba bütschlii Chilomastix mesnili Helminths Ascaris lumbricoides Enterobius vermicularis Hymenolepis nana Hymenolepis diminuta Hookworm Schistosoma spp Strongyloides stercoralis Trichuris trichiura Taenia spp

37 Conclusions Although to a lesser extent than cysts and trofozoites, the shedding of G. lamblia specific antigens is intermittent in patients infected with Giardia lamblia. The T.F.T. set has a higher sensitivity as compared to a single EIA The Remel (Alexon) ProsPect Giardia test is a powerful diagnostic tool in the laboratory diagnosis of giardiasis

48 Non morfological techniques Can be very helpful Negative / positive predictive value largely depends on the population you work for! What would be missed in case you use ELISA / PCR as a screening tool? What to do with a positive testresult? Confirmation?? How to monitor treatment effects?
