Studies were made on 33 immunocompetent patients with cryptosporidiosis (31 of them children) to determine how long oocyst shedding continued after the cessation of diarrhoea. The majority (20/33) ceased to shed oocysts in the week following the cessation of diarrhoea. However 5 patients (15%) continued to shed oocysts for 2 weeks or more, and 1 patient was still shedding oocysts when lost to follow-up 3 weeks after the diarrhoea ceased. There was considerable variation among patients, and some eliminated oocysts more efficiently and quickly than others. The sucrose flotation technique was more useful than direct smear for detecting the low numbers present at the end of the shedding period. Limited information suggested that a carrier state or relapse is probably rare.
对33例免疫功能正常的隐孢子虫病患者（其中31例为儿童）进行了研究，以确定腹泻停止后卵囊排出持续了多长时间。大多数患者（20/33）在腹泻停止后的一周内停止排出卵囊。然而，有5例患者（15%）持续排出卵囊达2周或更长时间，1例患者在腹泻停止3周后失访时仍在排出卵囊。患者之间存在相当大的差异，一些患者比其他患者更有效、更快地清除卵囊。蔗糖漂浮技术在检测排出期结束时存在的少量卵囊方面比直接涂片更有用。有限的信息表明，带菌状态或复发可能很少见。
