Genetic Detection of Genes Encodes Some Enzymes in Entamoebahistolytica in Diarrhea Children in Iraq.

ABSTRACT: Entamoebahistolytica is a protozoan, an anaerobic intestinal parasite that causes about 50 million infections and a mortality rate of more than 100,000 worldwide. For diagnosis, two hundred samples of children with diarrhea signs were evaluated using staining and polymerase chain reaction techniques. The current study recorded 11 positive cases of E. histolytica, which were diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) out of a total of 51 positive cases diagnosed microscopically for pediatric children arriving at Tikrit General Hospital in Tikrit city and the nearby areas. The percentage of positive cases reached 21.57% for the PCR assay, as significant differences appeared compared to the microscopic examination. The results showed that the parasite infection rates differed
