https://doi.org/10.22625/2072-6732-2012-4-2-26-32

Abstract

The representatives of genus Cryptosporidium were found in 17 of 99 (17, 2%) HIV patients in Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital named after S.P. Botkin. The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay identified two types of these agents Сriprtosporidium parvum in 11 (64,7%) and C. hominis in 6 (35,3%) patients. The level of CD4+ lymphocyte in the patients having cryptosporidiosis was significantly lower than in patients without cryptosporidiosis. In patients with cryptosporidiosis prolonged diarrhea were found at significantly higher rate. Also the patients with cryptosporidiosis demonstrated malnutrition and weight loss, but not at significantly higher rates. The present study is one of the first describe of cryptosporidiosis in Russia.
