TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Treatment of Blastocystis Hominis infection ameliorates Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: Relation to IL-17
Official scientific title Treatment of Blastocystis Hominis infection ameliorates Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: Relation to IL-17
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is one of the common autoimmune disorders that cause significant morbidity. T helper 17 cells and their hallmark cytokine IL-17 were identified as major contributing factors in the pathogenesis of HT. Blastocystis hominis (BH) infection is very common & has been shown to be associated with several diseases. Aim of the work: To determine serum IL-17 level in HT patients with & without BH infection and the effect of treating BH on IL-17 and thyroid parameters in patients with HT.
