Abstract

This study was conducted to compare the blood picture of healthy Iraqi camels with the blood picture of camels infected with trypanosomiasis. Collected (100) blood samples randomly for a period from 1/10/2015 to 30/9/2016.    The blood samples collected from camels which are brought to the veterinary clinic in Najaf and Karbala, from camels that bring to slaughter in the Najaf, Karbala and Qadissiya massacres. These camels some of them healthy and others were observed with illness fatigue, wasting, high Temperature, patches of fall of lint,paleness of mucous membranes and accumulation of edema in different areas of the animal's body. The age of these camels ranged between (8 - 15 years) for camels and she camels. The study included the collection of blood samples and the examination the number of red and white blood cells, count the different type of white blood cells, measure the proportion of hemoglobin and measure pact cell volume of red blood cells .Then make blood smear to see the normal shape of red blood cells and the form of all types of white blood cells to do counting differential type of white blood cells.. We also conduct blood swabs of trypanosomiasis to watch the parasite and make a differential count of white cells and changes in erythrocytes.  The results obtained from a sample size (100) camels and she camels, (92) non-infected aninals and (8) animals with trypanosomiasis, the number of healthy camels (60) and (32) animals she camels. The number of infected camels (5) and (3)infected she camels .In healthy camels the number of red blood cells are( 8.6 - 9.9 × 106 / ul),the number of white blood cells are (8.8 - 10.9 × 103 / ul), the percentage of hemoglobin recorded were ( 11.7 - 12.5 g / dl) and the pact cell volume are  (48.8 - 48.9%), number of neutrophile( 41.8 -48.9 %) , lymphocytes (35.7 - 42.9%),monocyte (5.7 - 8.4%), eosinophile (3.2 - 4.5%). In all samples we saw one basophile cell in age (8 years - 11 years).   In infected animals the number of red blood cells (3.15 - 4.75 × 106 / ul) , white blood cells are (8.9 - 17.5 × 103 / ul), the percentage of hemoglobin recorded in infected animals with trypanosomiasis is (6.5 - 8.5 g / dl)and pact cell volume ( 19 – 24.3 %) .The account of differential type of white blood cells are  (36.3 - 50%) neutrophile, lymphocyte (33 - 47.6%), monocyte cells (5-10%), and number of eosinophile (6 - 14)% of the rods did not see any cell.Keywords: Camels, Infected, Iraqi, Comparison, Blood test.

Abstract

Objective: Indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) are commonly used in hospitalized patients. Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are a major source of nosocomial infections in the worldwide. The present study was conducted to the etiological Bacterial pathogens of the UTI and to determine the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of pathogens isolated.  Methods: This study was carried out in AL- Imam Hussein Medical in holly Karbala city from (1st March, 2017) to (30st June, 2017).Total (300) urine samples were tested bacteriologically and for antibiotic susceptibility using standard procedures. Results: A total (300) patients,(111) by(37%) were female and (189) by (63%) were male with indwelling urinary catheters were studied divided into four groups according to hospital ward. The highest percentage of age group was seen in (36-45) years group. Uropathogens were isolated from (244) patients sample only. The bacterial isolates included E. coli (53), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (99), Klebseillapneumonia  (22), Staphylococcus aureus (20), Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (16), Candida albicans (14), Enterococcus faecalis (8), B hemolytic  Streptococci (6) and Serratiamarcesens (6). All isolated bacteria display variation in sensitivity and resistance pattern. Conclusions: This study observed that Pseudomonas aeruginosais the main organism which isolated from Catheterized patients caused UTI. In addition, the study showed that E. coli isolates were the predominant pathogens and showed increasing resistance pattern to the commonly drugs which used in present study.Keywords: Urinary Catheter, Urinary Tract, Infection, Antibiotic, Patterns, Holy Karbala.
