Cryptosporidiosis, a newly recognized parasitosis of humans is being identified with increased frequency in immunocompromised and more recently in immunocompetent persons with gastroenteritis and or diarrhea. It has been found in the Philippines for the first time in children seen at the San Lazaro Hospital in Manila. A total of 735 stool specimens from adults and children with diarrhea were examined by the Ziehl-Neelson and Kinyoun acid-fast methods and 2.9% of the children 6 to 20 months of age were found passing Cryptosporidium oocysts. This parasitic infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases of diarrhea in both immunodeficient and immunocompetent persons.
隐孢子虫病是一种新发现的人类寄生虫病，在免疫功能低下人群中被发现的频率越来越高，最近在患有肠胃炎和/或腹泻的免疫功能正常人群中也有发现。在菲律宾，首次在马尼拉圣拉萨罗医院就诊的儿童中发现了这种病。对735份成人和儿童腹泻患者的粪便标本采用齐-尼氏和金扬抗酸染色法进行检查，发现6至20个月大的儿童中有2.9%排出隐孢子虫卵囊。在免疫缺陷和免疫功能正常的腹泻病例鉴别诊断中都应考虑这种寄生虫感染。
