The aim of this study is to determine the fasting serum C reactive protein level in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending diabetic clinic in Benin City, Nigeria. The population sample consists of 142 subjects. 71 patients were known type 2 diabetes mellitus, while the other 71 were age matched control subjects. Fasting glucose and C reactive protein were estimated using glucose oxidase method and ELISA method respectively. The age group that has the highest number of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 41 - 50 (64% of males and 36% of the females). Our finding revealed that C reactive protein and serum glucose level of type 2 Diabetes mellitus in both females and males show a statistically significant increase as compared with age matched Control subjects,展开更多

Stool and blood sample were collected of 334 children which comprised of 152 females and 185 males. Intestinal parasitosis was confirmed by direct smear technique and formol-ether concentration method. Serum IgE level was estimated by ELISA method. It was revealed that children between the ages of 11 - 15 years had the highest incidence of intestinal parasite in both sex (73.3% of the males and 62.5% of the females). About 2-fold elevation in serum IgE level was demonstrated. Intervention program including early introduction of health education to children is advocated and environmental sanitation should be encouraged.展开更多
