Parasites, once an exclusively tropical problem, are rare causes of diarrhea in our countries. Increasing tourism and immune deficiencies due to treatment or to Aids lead to an increase of intestinal parasites in western countries. The most frequent pathogenic parasites are Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica but other organisms like Cryptosporidia seem to be of increasing importance and have to be considered in diarrhea of unknown origin.
寄生虫曾是热带地区特有的问题，在我国是导致腹泻的罕见病因。由于旅游业的发展以及治疗或艾滋病导致的免疫缺陷，西方国家肠道寄生虫感染呈上升趋势。最常见的致病寄生虫是蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫和溶组织内阿米巴，但其他病原体如隐孢子虫似乎越来越重要，在不明原因腹泻中必须加以考虑。
