This study aimed to show more definite bacteriological aspects of appendicitis in patients, direct and indirect bacteriological investigations were done for specimens from appendices resected from patients admitted Ramadi General Hospital, Al-Anbar Governorate, West Iraq.
Results showed that the age range of patients was (10-40) years, Male: female ratio was (2:1) among patients within age group (10-20) years. No significant difference (P < 0.05) was found between enteric and anaerobic species, they were showing the isolation rates (43.7%) and (40.8%) respectively. Escherichia. coli took the first rank of isolation (21.1%) followed by Bacteroides. fragilis and, Staphylococcu .aureus ( 12.6%) for each. Proteus species , Peptococcus, Clostridium and other bacterial types were showing lower isolation rates. All patients were showing high white blood cell counts, mean number was more 10 4 cell/cmm. C-reactive protein was increased also in sera of patients, more than 10 mg/L. We can conclude that bacterial infections particularly those constitute facalith structure (normal colonic flora) play a role in appendicitis that is why antimicrobial choice for pre and postoperative therapy to reduce time as an important factor in constituting of complications. Both CRP and WBC are increased though they are non-specific diagnostic factors. Majority of patients were teenaged, males were showing higher rate of

Background:Oriental sore occurs mostly in the mediteranian region , North Africa ,and the Middle East . Rodents are the main reservoir for the parasite . The wet type caused by L. major is rural and the dry type caused by L. tropica is urban and humans are presumably the only reservoir. Sand fly vectors are involved in all forms.
Objectives: This study aimed to show the most important bacterial infections concomitant with cutaneous leishmaniasis .
Methods; The study was performed on 75 patients (ages 1-50 years ) from both sexes were attending Skin Diseases Department of Ramadi General Hospital during the period extended from January to June 2000. These patients were clinically diagnosed as patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis. Skin specimens were taken for bacteriological and parasitological investigations .The same thing was done for specimens from 25 intact individuals resembling the test group as negative controls.
Results: Children showed more lesions with Positive cutaneous leishmaniasis, adult females, showed more l lesions than adult males. Children showed more bacterial isolates than adults, from both positive and negative l lesions. Staphylococcal and Streptococcal isolates took the first rank of isolation in all age groups and both sexes. E. coli and fecal Streptococci were isolated from children only.
Conclusion: Bacterial invasion for the skin lesion with cutaneous leishmaniasis complicates the lesion and leads to misdiagnosis, in addition to the delay of healing of the lesion via bacterial end-products. There is a need for accurate diagnostic techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for both bacterial and parasitic agents, suitable effective antimicrobial therapy, in addition to the antileishmanial agents. Good sanitation of the lesion and community education to prevent infections.
Keywords: Bacteria and Leishmania, Bacterial skin infection, L concomitant infections.

This study aimed to investigate the most common aerobic bacteria associated with Eczema , preparation of bacterial crude antigen from the predominant bacterial isolate as well as determination of total IgE and IgE specific for bacterial antigen using ELISA test.
Fifty (50) out of ( 80 ) eczematic patients were showing positive skin swab culture with dominance of S. aureus (58%) from both adults and children , Corynebacterium , diphtheroid species took the second rank of isolation (22% ) followed by S.epidermedis (16% ) and Micrococcus species ( 10% ).
Patients with positive swab cultures from both sexes and two age groups showed more IgE specific for S. aureus crude antigen (65.5% )than that of S. aureus standard strain . More esosinophil absolute counts were found among patients than control group . We can conclude that bacterial infections associated with eczema makes it more severe via induction of certain mediators ( IgE ) in this study and probably through other mediators . S. took the first rank of isolation .

Eighty eczematous patients were included in this study from both sexes andtwo age groups, adults were (52) patients aged (18-70) years and children were(28) included aged (3-17) years. They were attending Department of Dermatologyin Ramadi General Hospital Ramadi, Al-Anbar Governorate West of Iraq,during the period extended from April2005-March 2006. Patients were submittedto a clinical examination and questionnaire test. Data were analyzed using Chi -square and T test.Results showed that females within age group (3-17) years showed higherrate of eczema than males. Adult males showed higher of eczema , (18: 80 )patients were showing familial link, adult females were more allergic to variety offood. Out of the total studied patients (61.25%) showed seasonal eczema while38.75% of them showed eczema at any season

Background:The roles that T helper type 1 (Th1) specific immune responses in protection from H. pylori challenge was understood. It is expected that Th2 immune responses are required for protection against extracellular bacteria, such as H. pylori. Both invasive and non-invasive tests are used in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection. The non-invasive tests avoid endoscopy and encompass the serologic and breath tests This study aimed to show important immune and non-immune tests for Helicobacter pyloriinfection diagnosis in patients . Patients and Methods:A total of one hundred seven (107) adult patients from both genders were attending Gastro Endoscopy Unit at Ramadi Teaching Hospital to undergo selective OGD from December 2012 to May 2013. Multiple mucosal biopsy specimens were taken for rapid urease test (RUT) to detect Helicobacter pylori in tissue samples. After endoscopy, blood specimen was taken from each patient to be used for serological tests including; IgG, IgM, by ELISA. Rapid Chromatographic Immunoassay test (CAS) was used for IgG against H.pylori also . Results: Present study showed that the rate of infection in males was same as in females, and increased within age group (31-50) years old, it was found thathigher positive results of CAS, and RUT for H. pylori, especially in younger adults. Findings confirmed that a significant relationship between H. pylori rapid urease test (RUT) with IgG and IgM specific for H. pylori antigen.
