Abstract

CRYPTOSPORIDIUM is one of the pathogenic parasites of human with different prevalence in each regions of the world and our country. Because there was no any information about the rate of human infections with this parasite in kermanshah, during the years 1995 and 1996, a cross sectional descriptive study was conducted to determine the rate of infection with this parasite in the children younger than 12 years old, admitted in Shahid Fahmideh Children Hospital.The subjects were 400 stool samples prepared by random sampling from these children with intestinal discomforts. Formalin ether concentration procedure and warm Ziehl-Neelsen stain method was used and slides were studied under light \ microscope. Fisher exact test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis of data.From 400 cases in this study, 280 individuals (70%) were suffering from DIARRHEA and other 120 individuals (30%), were non-diarrheal. Altogether 13 cases (3.3%) with Cryptosporidial infection were seen. in DIARRHEAl and nondiarrheal individuals, 12 cases (4.3%) and 1 case (0.8%) of infection were seen, respectively.this difference was statistical significant (P<0.05). True prevalence of infection in these children was between 1.6% and 5%.12 cases (7%) with cryptosporidial infections were observed among the children younger than 5 years old, which in comparison with one case (0.4%) in the older ages has a statistical significant difference (P<0.0007). The frequency of infection was seasonal dependent and there was a statistical significant difference between the rate of infection in the first and the second half of the year (P<0.03).According to the results, it is recommended that diagnostic laboratories and physicians give more attention to this parasite, particulary in DIARRHEAl children that no other pathogenic agents were seen in their stools.
