Description
Obsolete Parasitic Stramenopiles Infectious Disease
The search results suggest that there are several diseases caused by parasitic members of the taxon stramenopiles, but one specific disease seems to be less relevant or considered obsolete.
- According to [3], a parasitic infectious disease involves infection caused by parasitic members of the taxon stramenopiles, in which the flagellate cells possess two flagella. However, this description is quite general and does not specify a particular disease.
- The search results also mention Blastocystis hominis, a unicellular, anaerobic, eukaryotic protist that lives in the intestinal tract of diverse hosts including humans [4], [7]. However, it's unclear if this organism causes an infectious disease or is simply a commensal organism.
- Another search result mentions Strongyloides stercoralis, a parasitic infection by the filariform larvae of which is considered an infectious disease [9]. However, this is not related to stramenopiles.
Unfortunately, it appears that there is limited information available on obsolete parasitic stramenopiles infectious

Signs and Symptoms
Clinical Manifestations of Blastocystis Infection
Blastocystis infection, caused by the unicellular protist Blastocystis hominis, can manifest in various ways depending on host factors. The clinical signs and symptoms of this infection are diverse and can range from asymptomatic to severe.
- Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Diarrhea is a common symptom of Blastocystis infection, which can be self-limiting or watery and severe [6].
- Neurological Impairment: In rare cases, Blastocystis infection has been associated with microcephaly, severe neurologic impairment, psychomotor retardation, failure to thrive, facial dysmorphism, and palmoplantar keratosis [3].
- Septic Arthritis: There have been reports of Blastocystis causing septic arthritis in humans, although this is a rare occurrence [7].
It's worth noting that most people infected with Blastocystis do not exhibit any symptoms or may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort. However, the infection can significantly undermine health during its chronic phase [5].

Diagnostic Tests
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are limited diagnostic tests available for certain types of parasitic infections caused by obsolete parasitic stramenopiles.
Unfortunately, the infection described in search result 4 as "Cytauxzoon" is not detectable using currently available diagnostic tests. This suggests that there may be a lack of effective
Additional Diagnostic Tests
- Histopathology
- Serology
- PCR
Treatment
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are limited information available on the drug treatment for obsolete parasitic stramenopiles infectious diseases.
However, I found some relevant information in search results [1] and [10]. According to these sources, Blastocystis is a unicellular, anaerobic, eukaryotic protist which lives in the intestinal tract of diverse hosts including humans. Some common treatment options may include medications, surgical procedures, lifestyle changes, and physical therapy.
In terms of specific drug treatments for parasitic stramenopiles infectious diseases, I found some information on Blastocystis infections [3] and [4]. According to these sources, Metronidazole and potentiated sulfonamides have anti-protozoal activity and have been used to treat Blastocystis infections. However, it's worth noting that the effectiveness of these treatments may vary depending on the specific strain of the parasite.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information on drug treatment for obsolete parasitic stramenopiles infectious diseases specifically. It's possible that this is a rare or emerging disease, and more research is needed to understand its causes and effective treatments.
Here are some key points to consider:
- Blastocystis infections can be treated with medications such as Metronidazole and potentiated sulfonamides [3] and [4].
- The effectiveness of these treatments may vary depending on the specific strain of the parasite.
- There is limited information available on drug treatment for obsolete parasitic stramenopiles infectious diseases.
