Abstract
Blastocystis hominis is a unicellular organism found commonly in the
intestinal tract of humans and many other animals. Very little is
known about the basic biology of this organism. The common
morphological forms are vacuolar, granular, and amoeboid. Other
additional forms were recently detected. Infections with the organism
are worldwide and appear in both immunocompetent and
immunodeficient individuals. Gastrointestinal symptoms generally
attributed to blastocystosis infection. In the present study detection of
this organism was done in Beni Suief University Hospital by using
different diagnostic techniques which gave different variations in the
obtained results.
