Infection is presumed to have a rule in the promotion of asthma exacerbations, and in deterioration of the course of the disease, Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) is claimed to be a possible cause for these two issues. To assess the positivity and the titer of C. pneumoniae IgG antibodies in relation to the state of asthma and its severity. 61 asthmatic patients aged 15-85 years (mean of 47.10±14.887), and 29 apparently healthy, nonasthmatic age and gender-matched volunteers (control group) were assessed as at Asthma and Allergy Clinic in Al-Sader Medical City in AL-Najaf province, Chlamydia Pneumoniae IgG ELISA Kit was used for the detection of IgG antibody to C. Pneumoniae in human serum to detect chronic infection, and Spirometric test was done, and the best results for FEV1 and PEFR were taken. IgG antichlamydial antibodies were positive in 21 (34.4%) of patients compared to 4 (13.8%) of controls, and the difference was significant with OR=3.281, the seropositivity in acute exacerbation was more than in stable asthmatic, 43.8% vs. 24.1% (P=0.029), seropositivity was nonsignificantly more in moderate and severe asthma as compared with mild asthma, a significant inverse correlation between IgG titer and pulmonary function test parameters (FEV1, PEFR) was observed as the FEV1 & PEFR values decrease with increase IgG titer. Chronic C. pneumoniae infection is common in adult asthmatics and correlated with exacerbations & increased severity and disturbed lung function.

مختصر البحثBackground: Asthma is an important community problem that increased in incidence worldwide, with a considerable acute and chronic
sequale and being an inflammatory process, following and interrupting this process is extremely important. High‑sensitivity C‑reactive
protein (hs‑CRP) is proposed to be a good indicator for the degree of inflammation; we aimed to utilize hs‑CRP as an inflammatory biomarker
to assess the severity and stability of asthma. Patients and Methods: Forty-one asthmatics (19 males and 24 females) with a mean age of
41 ± 14 and 22 years and gender- and body mass index-matched controls were assessed by questionnaire, spirometry, and level of hs-CRP in
Al‑Sader Teaching Hospital in Al‑Najaf at 2018. Results: The mean values of hs‑CRP were significantly higher in asthma than the control
group, and this was marked in asthmatics during acute exacerbation than those with stable clinical status, hs‑CRP was recorded significantly
higher in adult asthmatic patients as compared to adolescents and middle aged, smoking history and allergic history did not show any significant
difference, and the elevation of hs‑CRP was markedly more in acute exacerbation as compared to stable state; on the other hand, the level of
hs‑CRP was correlated significantly more with the drop in forced expiratory volume1 and peak expiratory flow rate, indicating the relation
with the severity of the illness. Conclusions: Hs‑CRP can be considered as a good biomarker for assessing the severity and stability of asthma

Abstract
Abstract:
Background :Giardia is a disease that is transmitted directly to humans through contaminated water, ingestion parasite and through clothing and sexual contact. Increased risk of injury in children who suffer from malnutrition and delayed growth compared to healthy children.
The aim of the study: The purpose of this study was to detect the relationship between the severity of the infection of the parasite G.lamblia vegetative phase active and cholesterol in the blood and its impact on the patient.
Study Design: The study ways to case - control of 1-12 / 2015 in the educational-Zahra hospital in the province of Najaf. Study of children up to age five who are suffering from diarrhea. This study examines the total cholesterol in the blood means that the 50 episodes of diarrhea passers Giardia trophozoite passers vegetative and compared with the proportion of cholesterol in the blood of 50 cases .Giardiasis is the most common waterborne disease in human. Infected children revealed malnutrition and growth retardation compare to health group and may lack the important caloric source and lipid malabsorption .
Aim Of Study: The aim of the study is found out the relationship between the severity of the injury to the parasite Giardia lambliaor vegetative active and cholesterol in the blood and its impact on patient .

مختصر البحثEnterobiasis is the commonest intestinal helminthic disease and is long believed to be a simple illness with no important local or systemic invasive complications. A cross-sectional analytic study of 175 patients attending the surgical clinics with complaints of perianal lesions like perianal fissure, perianal fistula, perianal abscess and perianal pruritus and excoriation. Forty two (93%) of the patients in the first group had a low serum zinc (mean 7.27umol/l), this was significantly lower than the second group and the two control groups (patients with uncomplicated Enterobiasis and a normal control group), however, the mean serum level was lower than normal in these groups. After treatment of the first group with two doses of Mebendazole (100mg) at two weeks interval, 8 patients (18%) had complete cure of their perianal pathology (two anterior perianal fissure and eight pruritus and excoriation), 10 patients (22%) had a moderate response and 13 patients (29%) had a mild response. Out of 175 patients, 45 patients had enterobiasis on twice scotch tape tests. There were 34 (76%) males and 11(24%) female positive cases of enterobiasis. Perianal fissure was the most common lesion in both groups: 30 (67%) in the first group versus 96 (75%) in the second group. Perianal pruritus with excoriation occurred in 14 cases (31%) in the first group and 16(12%) in the second. Perianal fistula and perianal abscess occurred in 5(11%) and 3(6%) in the first group and in 26(20%) and 24(18%) in the second group respectively
