Cryptosporidiosis in patients with AIDS often leads to a severe wasting illness that is difficult to treat. Recent reports suggest that paromomycin may be useful in the treatment of intestinal cryptosporidiosis. We reviewed our experience using paromomycin for the treatment of cryptosporidiosis in
Sixty cryptosporidiosis patients from Mansoura University Hospitals, 36 males and 24 females, with age from few months to ten years (mean age 6.1) were divided into three cross-matched groups of 20 patients each. All patients received the glutamine-based oral rehydration solution with 111 mmol/l
A patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome who developed symptoms of partial gastric outlet obstruction during the course of a severe diarrheal illness due to cryptosporidiosis is presented. Endoscopic evaluation of the stomach revealed an inflamed pyloric ring and channel with clinical
A coprological study realized with 217 HIV adult subjects has allowed to evaluate the frequency of the cryptosporidiosis during this affection in Abidjan. Cryptosporidium sp. has been found in 8.7% of the subjects. Otherwise 78.9% of the patients had a chronic diarrhoea. 89.4% showed an abdominal
On May 6, 1998, the Olmsted County Public Health Department initiated an investigation into an outbreak of diarrheal illness that had occurred among people who swam frequently at a local swimming pool. Interviews of swimmers and microbiological testing of stool samples and swimming pool filter
OBJECTIVE
