Abstract :

Intestinal cryptosporidiosis in people with HIV/AIDS may have spread to the lungs, but the prevalence of dissemination to the lunghas not been disclosed. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis spread of the intestine to the lungsin people with HIV/AIDS with pulmonary disorders. Sputum samples of patients with HIV/AIDS with intestinal cryptosporidiosis andpulmonary disorders were examined using a modified Ziehl Neelsen staining technique and observed microscopically in 1000xmagnification and oil immersion. Prevalence of dissemination to the lungs was 72.2% (8/11) in intestinal cryptosporidiosisHIV/AIDS patients with pulmonary disorders. The presence of lung abnormalities in people with HIV/AIDS, in addition to suspicionof tuberculosis, should also lead to the suspicion of pulmonary cryptosporidiosis. (FMI 2014;50:245-248)
