Diversity of Protists II

Alveolates are a group of organisms recognized by the presence of alveoli, which are cytoplasmic sacs located beneath the cell membrane. While their function remains uncertain, alveoli may help regulate water balance by controlling how much water enters and leaves the cell. In dinoflagellates, these structures may serve as armor plates. There are three major types of alveolates: ciliates, which move using cilia; dinoflagellates, which use flagella for movement; and apicomplexans, which are...

Infection

8.6K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Fungal Phylum Microsporidia

Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular fungi that were initially classified as protists but were later reclassified based on phylogenetic, molecular, and structural evidence linking them to the Chytridiomycota. These unicellular, non-motile organisms are highly specialized parasites that infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans. They have evolved extensive genomic and metabolic reductions, making them highly dependent on their hosts for survival.Morphology and Genomic...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Two cases of infectious proctitis caused by human monkeypox virus (MPXV) were identified in patients with rectal pain. This highlights the need for broader clinical recognition of MPXV, even without a rash.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Virology
  • Proctology

Background:

  • Human monkeypox (MPXV) is a viral zoonosis with a potential for human-to-human transmission.
  • Clinical manifestations of MPXV typically include fever, lymphadenopathy, and a characteristic rash.
  • Rectal pain can be a presenting symptom, but its association with MPXV is not widely recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe cases of infectious proctitis secondary to MPXV.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering MPXV in patients with proctitis, particularly those without a rash.
  • To highlight the need for multidisciplinary management in MPXV cases.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two patients presenting with infectious proctitis.
  • Clinical evaluation including symptom assessment and diagnostic workup.
  • Review of relevant literature on MPXV and proctitis.

Main Results:

  • Two patients presented with severe rectal pain and infectious proctitis.
  • MPXV infection was confirmed as the cause of proctitis in both cases.
  • Neither patient exhibited the typical generalized rash associated with MPXV.

Conclusions:

  • Infectious proctitis can be an early or isolated manifestation of human MPXV.
  • Expanding case definitions to include proctitis is crucial for early clinical recognition.
  • Multidisciplinary management is essential for optimal patient outcomes in MPXV infections.
