N\AAbstract
This research was conducted on children infected with the Entamoeba histolytica parasite who arrived at Tikrit Teaching Hospital in Salah al-Din Governorate in the month of June 2024 to December 2024 on children aged 1-6 years and for both sexes. Stool samples were collected for children with acute diarrhea. 100 faecal samples were examined and 20 positive samples were recorded using the direct swab method. The results of the research showed a total infection rate with the E. histolytica parasite that reached 20%, and the infection rate in females reached 28%, higher than that in males, reaching 12%. The highest percentage was found at the age of 5-6 years, reaching 25%, and the lowest rate was in the age group 1-2 years, reaching 10%.
The highest rate of dysentery among children was in Baiji, 36%, and the lowest rate was recorded in Tikrit, 8%.
The highest infection rate was in July, at 53.3%, while the lowest infection rate was in September, at 0%. The effect of dysentery on some immune parameters in the blood, such as Immunoglobulin A and Interferon gamma, was studied. There was a high increase in the concentration of interferon gamma in children infected with E. histolytica, reaching 1512 compared to healthy people, reaching 834, as well as an increase in the concentration of IgA in infected children, reaching 5.83 compared to healthy people, reaching 3.68.
