Opportunistic parasitic infections are diagnosed more and more often in African patients with AIDS. Cryptosporidiosis is the most frequent with a prevalence between 7 and 31%. The prevalence of Isospora belli is between 5 and 19% and that of strongyloidiasis between 2 and 5%, depending on the authors. These parasitic infections are probably one of the frequent causes of chronic diarrhea in Africa. The prevalence of toxoplasmosis and pneumocystosis are not well known. (Between 5 and 17% for toxoplasmosis and 29% for pneumocystosis). The diagnostic technics used are those currently known. Toxoplasmosis and pneumocystosis seen in these patients have the same presentations as those in developed countries.
在非洲艾滋病患者中,机会性寄生虫感染的诊断越来越频繁。隐孢子虫病最为常见,患病率在7%至31%之间。贝氏等孢球虫的患病率在5%至19%之间,类圆线虫病的患病率在2%至5%之间,具体数值因作者而异。这些寄生虫感染可能是非洲慢性腹泻的常见病因之一。弓形虫病和肺孢子菌病的患病率尚不清楚。(弓形虫病为5%至17%,肺孢子菌病为29%)。所使用的诊断技术是目前已知的那些。这些患者中出现的弓形虫病和肺孢子菌病与发达国家的情况表现相同。
