Cryptosporidiosis of the Conjunctiva in SIV-Infected Rhesus Monkeys

Cryptosporidium was found on the conjunctiva of 6 SIV-infected immunodeficient rhesus monkeys. Some affected membranes were inflamed. The conjunctiva is a newly recognized site for disseminated Cryptosporidium infection in spontaneously infected immunodeficient mammals, and clinicians and investigat...

The conjunctiva is a newly recognized site for disseminated Cryptosporidium infection in spontaneously infected immunodeficient mammals, and clinicians and investigators should be aware of its possible presence in immunodeficient patients with disseminated cryptosporidiosis.
