Chronic intestinal cryptosporidiosis was diagnosed as the cause of chronic diarrhea and weight loss in an adult dog without obvious signs of immunosuppression. Results of tests for digestive function suggested that the dog had impaired intestinal absorption or bacterial overgrowth. The nutrient malabsorption might have resulted in or have been caused by the cryptosporidiosis. Temporary clinical improvement without reduction in fecal oocyst concentration was noticed following treatment with clindamycin. The dog was euthanatized. At necropsy, the dog was found to have chronic lymphoplasmacytic enteritis and cryptosporidiosis. A veterinary student that worked in the ward where the dog was kept developed cryptosporidal diarrhea.
一只成年犬被诊断为患有慢性肠道隐孢子虫病，这是其慢性腹泻和体重减轻的病因，且该犬没有明显的免疫抑制迹象。消化功能测试结果表明，这只犬存在肠道吸收受损或细菌过度生长的情况。营养物质吸收不良可能是由隐孢子虫病导致的，也可能是其病因。在用克林霉素治疗后，观察到犬的临床症状暂时有所改善，但粪便中卵囊浓度并未降低。这只犬最终实施了安乐死。尸检发现，该犬患有慢性淋巴细胞浆细胞性肠炎和隐孢子虫病。在饲养这只犬的病房工作的一名兽医专业学生出现了隐孢子虫性腹泻。
