Blastocystis hominis has long been classified among Blastomycetes. It was considered to be an apathogenous fungal organism which was very frequently detected in routine stool examinations. Following the first studies with an electronic microscope in 1967, Zierdt et al. (34) classified Blastocystis hominis among the protozoa. Since then, there have been increasingly frequent reports that Blastocystis hominis can be an important cause of intestinal diseases especially diarrhea. For a definite taxonomic correlation and for an identification as pathogen, more investigations are greatly necessary.
人芽囊原虫长期以来被归类于芽生菌纲。它曾被认为是一种无致病性的真菌有机体，在常规粪便检查中经常被检测到。1967年首次使用电子显微镜进行研究后，齐尔德特等人将人芽囊原虫归类于原生动物。从那时起，越来越多的报道称人芽囊原虫可能是肠道疾病尤其是腹泻的重要病因。为了确定分类学上的关联并确定其为病原体，非常有必要进行更多的研究。
