Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infestation in HIV/AIDS Patients with Diarrhea in Madurai City, South India
The prevalence and pattern of parasitic infestation among 80 HIV/AIDS patients with diarrhea in Madurai, south India, was studied by microscopy. Eighty HIV-negative patients were used as controls. Intestinal parasites were detected in 31 HIV/AIDS patients (38.7%) and in 14 (17.5%) HIV-negative patie...

| description | The prevalence and pattern of parasitic infestation among 80 HIV/AIDS patients with diarrhea in Madurai, south India, was studied by microscopy. Eighty HIV-negative patients were used as controls. Intestinal parasites were detected in 31 HIV/AIDS patients (38.7%) and in 14 (17.5%) HIV-negative patients, a difference that was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In HIV/AIDS patients with diarrhea, protozoa accounted for the majority of diarrhea cases (Entamoeba spp. 37.5%, Cryptosporidium parvum 28.7%). It is therefore suggested that enteric infections are more common in HIV-infected patients than in HIV-negative persons in south India, and this may be due to differences in immunological profile, susceptibility as well as factors related to sanitation and the environment. |
