NCT ID NCT07496827
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will check how common parasitic infections are in 285 people with blood disorders, like anemia or blood cancers, at Assiut University hospitals in Egypt. Researchers will test for Toxoplasma and other parasites. The goal is to understand if routine screening could help these patients, who are often more vulnerable to infections.
