Giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis.

摘要

Having a high degree of clinical suspicion, completing a history, paying attention to the specific epidemiologic risk factors discussed previously, as well as undertaking a physical examination are essential to diagnosis. A similar fecal-oral and waterborne disorder to be considered is cryptosporidiosis, caused by Cryptosporidium protozoa, which can cause outbreaks of diarrhea in child care centers and swimming pools and can result in chronic disease, usually in immunodeficient patients, but occasionally in people who are immunoeompetent.
