In the period July through October, 1986, 78 laboratory-confirmed cases of cryptosporidiosis were identified in New Mexico. To determine possible risk factors for development of this disease, we conducted a case-control study; 24 case-patients and 46 neighborhood controls were interviewed. Seventeen (71 per cent) of the 24 case-patients were females, seven (29%) were males; their ages ranged from 4 months to 44 years, median 3 years. There was a strong association between drinking surface water and illness: five of the 24 case-patients, but none of the 46 controls drank untreated surface water. Among children, illness was also associated with attending a day care center where other children were ill (odds ratio = 13.1).
1986年7月至10月期间，新墨西哥州确诊了78例经实验室确认的隐孢子虫病病例。为了确定该疾病发生的可能风险因素，我们开展了一项病例对照研究；对24例病例患者和46名社区对照进行了访谈。24例病例患者中17例（71%）为女性，7例（29%）为男性；年龄范围为4个月至44岁，中位数为3岁。饮用地表水与患病之间存在密切关联：24例病例患者中有5例饮用了未经处理的地表水，而46名对照中无人饮用。在儿童中，患病还与在有其他儿童患病的日托中心就读有关（比值比=13.1）。
