Dientamoeba fragilis (D. fragilis) is a recognized intestinal protozoa. This study details its epidemiology, biology, and clinical presentation in stool samples.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Intestinal protozoa, such as Dientamoeba fragilis (D. fragilis), are increasingly recognized for their pathogenic potential.
  • A comprehensive analysis of epidemiological, biological, and clinical aspects of D. fragilis is warranted.
  • This study investigates D. fragilis prevalence and characteristics within a hospital setting.

Purpose:

  • To delineate the epidemiologic, biological, and clinical features of D. fragilis infections.
  • To determine the prevalence of D. fragilis in stool samples.
  • To identify associated symptoms and co-infections.

Summary:

  • A 5-year survey of 27,058 stool samples revealed D. fragilis in 13.3% of positive cases.
  • D. fragilis frequently co-occurred with other intestinal parasites, notably Blastocystis hominis.

  • Clinical manifestations included abdominal pain, anorexia, and altered bowel habits, particularly in young females.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the significant prevalence of D. fragilis as an intestinal protozoan pathogen.
    • Provides insights into the clinical presentation and common co-infections associated with D. fragilis.
    • Contributes to understanding the pathogenic capacity of D. fragilis within the flagellate group.
