Cryptosporidiosis is increasingly identified as a leading cause of childhood diarrhea and malnutrition in both low-income and high-income countries. The strong impact on public health in epidemic scenarios makes it increasingly essential to identify the sources of infection and understand the transmission routes in order to apply the right prevention or treatment protocols. The objective of this literature review was to present an overview of the current state of human cryptosporidiosis, reviewing risk factors, discussing advances in the drug treatment and epidemiology, and emphasizing the need to identify a government system for reporting diagnosed cases, hitherto undervalued.
隐孢子虫病日益被视为低收入和高收入国家儿童腹泻和营养不良的主要病因。在疫情情况下，其对公众健康的严重影响使得确定感染源并了解传播途径变得越来越重要，以便应用正确的预防或治疗方案。这篇文献综述的目的是概述人类隐孢子虫病的现状，回顾风险因素，讨论药物治疗和流行病学的进展，并强调需要建立一个政府系统来报告确诊病例，而这一点迄今未得到重视。
