microsporidiosis/vomiting

OBJECTIVE Intestinal microsporidiosis caused by Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a cause of chronic diarrhoea in patients with HIV infection for which there is no current therapy. This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of oral fumagillin in this infection. METHODS A dose-escalation

Microsporidia infections occur in virtually all invertebrate and vertebrate hosts, including humans. The aim of this study is detection of microsporidiosis in various samples of Iranian immunosuppressed patients during 2011-2012 by molecular methods. The samples included stool samples from the

BACKGROUND Microsporidia are the most common cause of chronic diarrhea in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Patients who have undergone organ transplantation may also be infected. The precise immune defect and the clinical picture in transplant patients have not been

Microsporidia have been recognized as emerging opportunistic agents affecting multiple organs. Intestinal microsporidiosis caused by Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis is a common disease which is associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly in AIDS patients. So far,

Since intestinal microsporidiosis might be of importance in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients infected with HIV, we examined duodenal biopsies of HIV-infected patients by electron microscopy. Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection of the small intestine was found in one of 23

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a newly described microsporidia in humans thought to be responsible for chronic diarrhoea in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. The epidemiology of this parasite is still unknown; it could be a strictly opportunistic agent or a human enteropathogen. E.
