cyclosporiasis/diarrhea

This is the first case of human cyclosporiasis reported in Korea. We detected the oocyst of Cyclospora cayetanensis from a 14-yr old girl who complained of persistent diarrhea after traveling to Indonesia. Round oocysts sized about 8 to 9 m with wrinkle on the wall were found in modified acid fast

Cryptosporidiosis, microsporidiosis, and cyclosporiasis were studied in four groups of Tanzanian inpatients: adults with AIDS-associated diarrhea, children with chronic diarrhea (of whom 23 of 59 were positive [+] for human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]), children with acute diarrhea (of whom 15 of

Cyclospora cayetanensis, a coccidian parasite, is a new cause of prolonged diarrhea. It has been most recently associated with ingestion of contaminated fruit. Although infection with C. cayetanensis is considered rare, the exact prevalence in Canada is unknown. Transmission is thought to occur

BACKGROUND Cyclospora cayetanensis is a recently recognized parasite that causes prolonged diarrheal illness. Its modes of transmission have not been fully determined, although some investigations before 1996 implicated water. Outbreaks of cyclosporiasis in the United States in 1996 and 1997 are

Cyclospora cayetanensis is an intestinal protozoon that has emerged as an important cause of endemic or epidemic diarrheal disease in children and adults worldwide. Cases of cyclosporiasis have been frequently missed, since it is difficult to detect the parasite in fecal sample, despite an

BACKGROUND This study was designed to investigate the distribution of cyclosporiasis between October 2003 and October 2004 and the relationship between Cyclospora infection and seasonal as well as patient factors in western Turkey. METHODS Stool samples from 4660 immunocompetent patients with

Cryptosporidium spp. and Cyclospora cayetanensis have emerged as important causes of epidemic and endemic diarrhea in immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. The exact modes of transmission in certain rural areas are still unclear. Reports of water-borne and food-borne outbreaks suggest that

Cyclospora cayetanensis is a coccidian protozoa that was newly recognized in 1979 in Papua New Guinea. We report the case of a 42-year-old French man who had visited Vietnam and presented with fever and watery diarrhea that had lasted for more than 2 weeks. The patient was diagnosed with C.

In this study, Cyclospora oocysts were detected in a 64-year old man who complained of persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting after visiting the Greek Islands in a sailing boat. Round oocysts about 8-9 microm in size with wrinkled walls that varied in color from red to pale pink

A detailed chronology of unsuccessful efforts to diagnose and treat a sudden-onset case of chronic diarrhea acquired in Jakarta Indonesia, and ultimately attributed to Cyclospora is presented. A modified Kato technique was used to quantify Cyclospora oocysts during successive days prior to, during,

Stool samples from a population-based cohort of mothers and children living in Leogane, Haiti were tested for Cyclospora cayetanensis from January 1997 through January 1998. Data on gastrointestinal symptoms were also collected. During the winter months of January to March, the infection was

We compared the epidemiologic characteristics of cyclosporiasis and cryptosporidiosis in data from a cohort study of diarrhea in a periurban community near Lima, Peru. Children had an average of 0.20 episodes of cyclosporiasis/year and 0.22 episodes of cryptosporidiosis/year of follow-up. The

In recent years, several studies have shown that Cyclospora cayetanensis is a worldwide intestinal pathogen, and it has been implicated in a number of sporadic cases and epidemic outbreaks of diarrheal illness in several endemic areas. The parasite is associated with prolonged and relapsing watery
