Stool specimens from one hundred children with acute diarrhoeal disease seen at the Gondar College of Medical Sciences Hospital, north-western Ethiopia were prospectively screened for the presence of oocysts of Cryptosporidium species. The study was conducted between June 1989 and January 1990. Nine out of one hundred specimens were positive for oocysts of Cryptosporidium. This study has demonstrated the presence of this parasite in the study region. A well desgned case control study is recommended to elucidate its clinical manifestations and association with malnutrition.
对埃塞俄比亚西北部贡德尔医学科学院医院收治的100名急性腹泻病患儿的粪便标本进行前瞻性筛查，以检测隐孢子虫属卵囊的存在。该研究于1989年6月至1990年1月进行。100份标本中有9份隐孢子虫卵囊呈阳性。本研究证明了该寄生虫在研究区域的存在。建议开展一项设计完善的病例对照研究，以阐明其临床表现及其与营养不良的关联。
