Öğe Bilateral aural myiasis (Wohlfahrtia magnifica): a case with chronic suppurative otitis media.(2010) Bayindir T.; Miman O.; Miman M.C.; Atambay M.; Saki C.E.Myiasis is a disease caused by fly larvae and aural myiasis is a rare clinic condition often occuring in children or mentally retarded people. We report the case of an unusual presentation of a bilateral aural myiasis in a mentally retarded patient with bilateral chronic otitis media caused by the third instar larvae of Wohlfahrtia magnifica. Two larvae were located on the other ear canal while two additional larvae were located in the middle ear cavity and were removed through perforation of the tympanic membrane. Treatment of aural myiasis is based on removal of the maggots and cleansing of the ear with ethanol, chloroform or physiological saline. Physiological saline is preferred in patients who have tympanic membrane perforation. Myiasis is related to personal hygiene. Therefore, in order to decrease the incidence of these infestations, care and hygiene standards should be carried out for those at risk.Öğe A case of alveolar echinococcosis in Malatya province(2008) Atambay M.; Karaman U.; Miman O.; Karada? N.; Sö?ütlü G.; Daldal N.The disease resulting from being infected with the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis is called alveolar echinococcosis (AE). In our country AE is seen in eastern and southeastern regions of Anatolia. Previously no case of AE had been reported by any hospital in Malatya. In this one case, a 70 year-old woman who presented at the Inönü University Turgut Ozal Medical Center with a right upper quadrant abdominal pain was given a diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE) by dynamic liver computed tomography. The pathological examination following the cystectomy revealed the presence of AE. This is a report of the first AE case detected in Malatya province.Öğe [Histopathology of strobilocercosis found in the livers of white mouse.].(2010) Aydin N.E.; Miman O.; Gül M.; Daldal N.The adult form of Taenia taeniaeformis is found in the intestine of the cat and cheetah. The larva form is called Strobilocercus fasciolaris and is found in rodents such as mice and rats. Our objective was to draw attention to that rare zoonosis, since it has already been reported in the literature as strobilocercosis in humans. During an experimental animal study conducted at Inonu University, some unexpected cystic formations were found in the livers of nine 6-8-month-old healthy white mice, which affected the conducted study negatively. These cystic formations were examined histopathologically. Prepared sections were stained with haemotoxylin eosin, periodic acid-Schiff and Masson trichrome stains, and examined by light microscopy. Strobilocercus fasciolaris larvae that curled towards cyst cavity and their hooks were seen. Plasma cells, macrophage, focus of eosinophilic infiltration and fibroblastic connective tissue were simultaneous found. In this paper, histopathological changes in intermediate hosts caused by Strobilocercus fasciolaris and other cestod larvae have been discussed.Öğe Malaria cases in Malatya during the past seven years(2007) Karaman U.; Atambay M.; Yaşar S.; Colak C.; Miman O.; Daldal N.Malaria can be seen in every region inhabited by human blood-sucking Anopheles and species of disease-causing Plasmodium. Since the region is on the crossroads of other cities where malaria is more widespread and it has a population of seasonal workers and an increasing number of tourists during the summer, additional imported cases may also be detected in the Malatya region. The aim of this study was to determine the state of malaria for the past seven years in Malatya. According to the records of the Malaria Control Unit of the Health Directorate of the Malatya province, 189 positive patients were reported during the seven years from 1999-2005. Of these cases, 186 (98.4%) were P. vivax, while 3 (1.6%) were imported cases of P. falciparum malaria. The rate of positivity was found to be 58.2% in male patients and 41.8% in female patients. Consequently, malaria can be said to persist as a health problem in Malatya region. It was concluded that people in the region should be informed about malaria and the ways to protect themselves.Öğe The prevalence of Demodex folliculorum on the scrotum and male perineal skin.(2009) U?raş M.; Miman O.; Karincaoglu Y.; Atambay M.Demodex folliculorum (D. folliculorum) is a human ectoparasite that resides in the pilosebasceous skin unit. Common sites of predilection are the skin of cheeks, forehead, nose, nasolabial fold and eyelids. Genital D. folliculorum inoculation case reports are extremely rare and depend on investigation of skin lesions. There is no study of genital skin without lesions, and, as far as we know, there is no literature on D. folliculorum prevalence in male genital skin. We examined D. folliculorum prevalence on the healthy scrotum and male perineum. One hundred males were examined for D. folliculorum on facial and genital skin. Samples were taken from cheek, forehead, scrotum and perineum by standard skin surface biopsy (SSSB) or hair epilation. The mean age was 53.5+/-13.0 (24-70) years. Eight percent of males had D. folliculorum on their facial skin. Mean Demodex density (Dd) of men with D. folliculorum positivity was 5.1+/- 2.9/ cm (2)(2-9/cm(2)). Diagnostic results of both sampling methods were similar. No D. folliculorum was demonstrated on genital skin.Öğe Serum zinc (Zn) levels in patients with giardiosis(2007) Taşkapan C.; Atambay M.; Aycan O.M.; Ozyalin F.; Yolo?lu S.; Miman O.; Daldal N.A decrease may occur in the levels of trace elements due to absorption deficiency resulting from giardiosis. This study was designed in order to reveal the difference in serum zinc levels between patients with giardiosis and healthy controls. Thirty one patients who were diagnosed as having giardiosis after detection of G. intestinalis and 31 healthy controls participated in the study. A significant decrease was observed in serum zinc levels of patients with giardiosis compared to those of controls (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, we suggest that parasitic diseases should also kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of cases characterized by low serum zinc levels.
