Bronchial asthma Means: difficulty in breathing Parasitic infections that may be associated with bronchial asthma: 1- Fascioliasis. 2- Larva migrans. 3- Bodies of living and dead mites and their excreta can cause bronchial asthma especially in children.
Meningoencephalitis Means: inflammation of brain and meninges Parasitic infections associated with meningoencephalitis: 1- Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (N.fowleri). 2- African trypanosomiasis (Polymorphic trypanosomes). 3- Chagas’ disease (T.cruzi). 4- Cerebral malaria (P.falciparum). 5- Toxoplasmosis (T.gondii).

Dysentery Means: painful frequent evacuation of small quantities of stool containing blood and mucus. It is a manifestation of large intestine affection. Helminthic infections associated with dysentery: 1- Schistosomiasis mansoni: eggs trapped in intestinal wall and mucosa. 2- Trichuriasis: embedded anterior part of the worms in intestinal mucosa. Protozoal infections associated with dysentery: 1- Amoebiasis: Parasite dissolves mucosa and produce ulcers. 2- Balantidiasis: Parasite dissolves mucosa and produce ulcers. 3- Falciparum malaria: Parasitized red cells cause partial occlusion of intestinal capillaries leading to anoxia and necrosis of mucosa. 4- Visceral leishmaniasis: Parasite attacks payer’s patches in large intestine. 5- T.cruzi megacolon: Parasite attacks muscle fibres of the colon destroying its elasticity and disturbing its normal function.
