Eight cases of microsporidiosis were found, in five of whom it was the sole pathogen. In all eight cases the organism was identified at light microscopy wi...
متن کاملDiagnosis of intestinal and disseminated microsporidial infections in patients with HIV by a new rapid fluorescence technique.
AIMS To assess the value of a new rapid fluorescence method for the diagnosis of microsporidiosis in HIV seropositive patients. METHODS Microsporidian spores in stools were demonstrated by using the fluorochrome stain Uvitex 2B. The new technique was evaluated in three groups of HIV seropositive patients with diarrhoea. Group 1: 19 patients with biopsy confirmed E bieneusi infection (186 stoo...
متن کامل[Laboratory diagnosis of opportunistic intestinal parasites with emphasis on human microsporidiosis, in Goiânia-Go].
Microsporidia are emergent and opportunistic protozoa that are responsible for diseases with high morbidity and mortality, especially among individuals with immune disorders. This study had the aim of determining the clinical-laboratory profile of these agents. In total, 723 patients were evaluated, divided into two groups: I) Immunosuppressed/immunodepressed individuals; II) Apparently immunoc...
