Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLRs), particularly the TLR2, take part in the elicitation of immune responses against Entamoeba histolytica. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between a specific polymorphism called rs3804099 in the TLR2 gene and E. histolytica/E. dispar/E. moshkovskii infection among Lebanese children. A case-control study encompassed 180 participants including 68 children with amebiasis and...
