Cryptosporidiosis was observed in 23 undernourished infants of a nutritional center in Temuco. This represents a 34% incidence rate for the period (march to may 1990). Liquid stools (91%), vomiting (39%), resistance to feeding (74%), respiratory symptoms (61%) and weight loss (mean 25 g per day) were the main clinical manifestations. Only 9 patients received specific therapy and all showed clinical improvement and normalization of stool examinations within the study period.

The occurrence of abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome has been attributed more frequently to enteropathogen organisms that invade the body in consequence of the immunologic unbalance of the host. Among several causes the cryptosporidiosis has been detected with some prevalence and its predominant localization was gastrointestinal tract, although other extra-intestinal sites have also been reported. In the present case the endoscopic examination established the diagnosis of erosive gastroduodenitis while the histological examination showed the presence of Cryptosporidium sp. in gastric and duodenal biopsy specimens. A proper etiological diagnosis in such cases is important for the choice of therapy.

Stool specimens from 127 adults with gastrointestinal disorders, 357 persons engaged in a livestock farming in the district of Leningrad were examined for Cryptosporidium oocysts with the Ziehl-Neelson routine. Five positive cases were established among the latter cohort. Besides, the study conducted at the hospitals of Leningrad that enrolled 373 children aged under 7 years revealed oocysts in 10 of them. Two of the latters had high temperature (39-40 degrees C) during 3 and 5 days, respectively. Common clinical symptoms of cryptosporidiosis were vomiting, profuse diarrhea and weakness. Accompanied with the normalization of the stool the mean recovery time was 7.4 days. One child recovered 15 days after the disease onset. For the first time human cryptobiosis was detected in the USSR (Leningrad). Its sources and the routes of transmission still remain unknown.

In a prospective study, Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected in seven (3.25%) immunocompetent children with diarrhoea. The predominant clinical features were watery diarrhoea and vomiting. The patients' mean age was 19 years and infection was more common in late summer-autumn than in the rest of the year. This first survey on cryptosporidiosis in Israeli children has shown a prevalence similar to that observed in other developed countries.

During an 18 months' survey of children admitted to hospital with gastroenteritis, oocysts of the protozoan Cryptosporidium were detected in 35 cases (1.6% of the total 2205 surveyed). The affected children (age range 5 months to 8 years; mean 34.2 months) were immunocompetent, and had green and offensive watery diarrhoea. Vomiting (94%) with dehydration (80%), fever (66%) and abdominal pain (26%) were major clinical features of the diarrhoeal illness which lasted a mean 8.2 (range 3-14) days. Five children were infected with other enteropathogens. The illness was self-limiting in all cases and none were excreting oocysts 2 weeks after cessation of diarrhoea. Peak incidence occurred during the months of March and April, with no cases during the hottest months of July and August. There was no known contact with animals or pets; 4 children had other siblings affected and 2 conformed to cases of travellers' diarrhoea. The significance of cryptosporidiosis in Kuwait and the need for epidemiological studies are discussed.

During January through June 1988, oocysts of Cryptosporidium were identified in fecal samples of 83 (7.7%) of 1073 children who presented with acute gastroenteritis. Other intestinal pathogens were less common: Salmonella 4.2%, E. coli 1.9%, Shigella 2.6% and Campylobacter jejuni 5.0%. Cryptosporidiosis (C) was more common under the age of 5 years than over (8.4% vs 1.8%, respectively, p less than 0.01). In 6 (7.2%) children with C, another stool pathogen was found. Frequent signs of C were diarrhea (85.4%), vomiting (36.3%) and fever (32.7%). Although no anticryptosporidial treatment was given, most children recovered within 5-9 days, but 6 had to be hospitalized: 4 were dehydrated and 5 had electrolyte imbalance. Repeated examination showed persistence of oocysts in the stools for up to 19 days. We conclude that C is a significant cause of gastroenteritis in Israeli children under the age of 5 years which occasionally requires hospitalization. We therefore recommend routine examination for C in cases of acute gastroenteritis.

A case of intestinal cryptosporidiosis in an eight-year-old boy is presented. The patient became ill during a visit to a farm where diarrhoea in newborn calves is a recurrent problem. Furthermore, on that farm kittens periodically suffer from diarrhoea and failure to thrive. Oocysts of Cryptosporidium sp. were identified in the stool of the patient, and in the stool of the cat he had contact with. At that time the calves were not infected. The patient's gastrointestinal symptomatology consisted of severe diarrhoea, vomiting, colics and moderate dehydration, and was preceded by coughing.

A case of life-threatening chronic diarrhea, caused by Cryptosporidium spp., was reported. The patient was a seven month old boy from an orphanage suffering from voluminous watery diarrhea, fever and vomiting three days before admission. He presented with severe dehydration and severe hypokalemia. Numerous cryptosporidial oocysts were detected in the stools without other enteropathogens. Although co-trimoxazole and gentamicin were administered in the first week of illness, the diarrheal symptom was still persistent. At the end of the third week, spontaneous remission was observed. The overall diarrheal period lasted twenty-five days. In this case, cryptosporidiosis manifested as severe chronic diarrhea in the immunocompetent and supportive management was very important because an effective drug is not available at present.

Over a one-year period we have examined 390 stool specimens from 210 children hospitalized for infectious gastroenteritis or in whom infectious gastroenteritis occurred during hospitalization. The most prevalent pathogens were rotaviruses (22.4%), followed by enteric salmonella (8.1%), Campylobacter jejuni/coli (2.4%), Cryptosporidium spp. (2.4%) and Aeromonas spp. (1.9%). Both Cryptosporidium spp. and Aeromonas spp. are important pathogens of infectious gastroenteritis in immunocompetent children in Switzerland. For both pathogens the most frequently observed clinical sign was self-limited, watery diarrhea with vomiting and fever often requiring parenteral rehydration. The laboratory findings in our patients revealed a left shift with a rise in total leukocyte count in Aeromonas infections only. Electrolytic disorders were frequently found in infections associated with either pathogen, while marked compensated metabolic acidosis was found with cryptosporidiosis only. This points toward a secretory component as part of the still unclear pathogenetic mechanism. Possible modes of infection in cryptosporidiosis are transmission by infected livestock (calves) and person-to-person communication, and in Aeromonas infections transmission by contaminated food or water. We recommend screening for both pathogens in infectious gastroenteritis of immunocompetent children.

In a study involving 104 children hospitalized with diarrhoea, 9% were infected with oocyst Cryptosporidium spp. add 56% with such yeast-fungus as Candida (C. Candida 38%). The manifestations noted in cryptosporidiosis infected children are acute diarrhea, vomiting and hyperthermia. One subject out of five who were tested for antibody to HIV appeared to be antibody positive. The patients immunity from the disease was not checked. A mycological test must be systematically carried out in case of children diarrheal outbreak.
