We agree with Paul Kelly that Cryptosporidium is a well described cause of diarrhoea1 and failure to thrive2 in non-immunocompromised children, and we also agree that the idea that Cryptosporidium diarrhoea is restricted to immunocompromised children should be outdated on the basis of the evidence. Yet, physicians do not sufficiently investigate for Cryptospor/dium as a cause of diarrhoea in immunocompetent individuals in India.
