BACKGROUND
Cryptosporidium is an intracellular protozoan organism which causes diarrhea, both in immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. Renal transplant recipients are prone to develop a variety of infections including protozoal infections.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine the
OBJECTIVE
To determine duration of infection and association of infection with diarrhea for dairy calves with naturally acquired cryptosporidiosis and giardiosis.
METHODS
Cohort study.
METHODS
20 Holstein calves on a single dairy farm.
METHODS
Fecal samples were collected 3 times/wk for the first 45
Screening of infants and children under age 15 years for Cryptosporidium oocysts in their stools was carried out in the suburb of Xuzhou City and six rural areas of Jiangsu Province. The infection rate varied from 0.7 to 5.06%. Of the total of 5,089 children examined, 89 (1.75%) were oocyst
Background: Cryptosporidium enteritis can be devastating in the immunocompromised host. In pediatric liver transplant recipients, infection may be complicated by prolonged carriage of the parasite, rejection, and biliary tree damage and
OBJECTIVE
To determine the relative effects of AIDS-related diarrhea with or without cryptosporidiosis and microsporidiosis on intestinal function and injury.
METHODS
We studied 40 HIV-infected patients (20 with and 20 without diarrhea) and 13 healthy volunteers, using the differential urinary
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the Cryptosporidium infection and its epidemiological characteristics in HIV/AIDS patients with chronic diarrhea.
METHODS
Stool samples collected from HIV/AIDS confirmed patients with chronic diarrhea who lived in Beijing, Henan and Xinjiang. Samples were concentrated by
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical feature of cryptosporidium infection in HIV/AIDS patients with chronic diarrhea.
METHODS
253 Stool samples were collected from HIV/AIDS patients with chronic diarrhea during Nov.2009 to Dec.2010. The samples were concentrated by Formalin-Ethyl Acetate
The protozoon parasite Cryptosporidium parvum is an important cause of diarrhea in farm animals, but it can also infect other animals and humans. In this case report, oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. were microscopically detected by modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining in the feces of a 9 day old Arabian
A case of life-threatening chronic diarrhea, caused by Cryptosporidium spp., was reported. The patient was a seven month old boy from an orphanage suffering from voluminous watery diarrhea, fever and vomiting three days before admission. He presented with severe dehydration and severe hypokalemia.
Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of diarrhea among Kenyan infants. Ceramic water filters (CWFs) are used for household water treatment. We assessed the impact of CWFs on diarrhea, cryptosporidiosis prevention, and water quality in rural western Kenya. A randomized, controlled intervention trial
A cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis and its clinical and laboratory pattern in Venezuelan HIV-infected patients (N = 397). At enrollment, they underwent thorough clinical history and physical examination and provided stool specimens for the
Disseminated Cryptosporidium infection results in manifestations similar to those of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which hampers the detection of Cryptosporidium infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Surveillance of oocysts on the surface of intestinal epithelial
Cryptosporidiosis has been found in Myanmar for the first time in infants presenting with a mild transient form of acute diarrhea. A total of 203 fecal samples collected from those infants were examined by Kinyoun's acid fast modified method. 3.4% of infants between 2 and 11 months of age were found
The aim of the studies was to establish the prevalence of Cryptosporidium parvum in children hospitalized with diarrhea. The group of 102 children has been examined from 2002-2003. A total of 8 (7.8%) cases of cryptosporidiosis was recorded in this period.
Recent studies have suggested that some outbreaks of diarrhea in children may be caused by Cryptosporidium, a parasite associated with gastrointestinal and respiratory tract infection in animals. In a study of 7300 British Columbia patients with diarrhea, cryptosporidial oocysts were found in the
