Abstract

Introduction: DIARRHEA is a cardinal symptom of HIV infection and is considered as AIDS defining condition. In the immunocompromised patients, the intestinal opportunistic parasites probably play a major role in causing chronic DIARRHEA accompanied by weight loss. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between DIARRHEA CD4 cell counts and CRYPTOSPORIDIUM infection in the HIV- infected patients in North India.Materials & Methods: In a retrospective study, blood and stool samples of 82 HIV-infected patients with CD4<200 were analyzed. 100 HIV-negative patients were assigned to the control group. They were referred to the AIDS division of National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) from March 2001 to June 2003. Each patient was examined for HIV-1 status, CD4 cell counts, CRYPTOSPORIDIUM and was screened for DIARRHEA symptoms.Results: DIARRHEA in HIV-infected patients (CD4<200) was 56.1%. CRYPTOSPORIDIUM infection was 68.4% in HIV positive patients with DIARRHEA, which was significant as compared to the other patients without DIARRHEA (p<0.05). CRYPTOSPORIDIUM infection was 85% in HIV negative patients with DIARRHEA, which was significant compared to the other patients without DIARRHEA (p<0.05). In this study 56.1% of HIV-infected patients with CD<200 had DIARRHEA and 56.5% of these patients had been infected with CRYPTOSPORIDIUM. In control group with DIARRHEA, this rate was 34%. CRYPTOSPORIDIUM infection was significant in HIV-infected patients with CD<200 and DIARRHEA (Fisher Exact Test p=0.022). DIARRHEA was common and mostly associated with low CD4 cell counts. Conclusion: The data stress the importance of CRYPTOSPORIDIUM infection in the HIV-infected patients and that the CRYPTOSPORIDIUM infection should be expected in the HIV-infected patients with low CD4 and DIARRHEA.
