Abstract

Background & Aim: Some parasitic disease has occuired in transplanted and HEMODIALYSIS patients frequently. CRYPTOSPORIDIUM is one of the parasites which cause self-limited diarrhea and enteritis in healthy persons. However, this parasite can cause life threatening disease such as severe gasteroenteritis in an immunocompromised person.Materials & Methods: In this investigation, cryptosporium infection was evaluated in three groups. The first group consists of 87 kidney transplanted patients, the second group consists of 103 HEMODIALYSIS patients and from the third group 60 healthy person were choosen as a control group. From all cases two stool specimen were obtained and they were concentrated by applying formalin – ether method. From each concentrated specimen two smears were prepared and stained by using modified acid-fast method and examind by under light microscope.Results: CRYPTOSPORIDIUM was positive in a 10 (11.5%) kidney transplanted cases, 4 (3.88%) HEMODIALYSIS patients and nopositive result was obtained at the control group.Discussion: The results were indicated there was significant difference between transplanted and control group (p. value = 0.02). However, no significant difference was observed between HEMODIALYSIS and control group (p.value = 0.2). In the comparision of the results among three groups, it was revealed the CRYPTOSPORIDIUM infection is much higher than the HEMODIALYSIS patients. The kidney transplant patient was much more susceptible to CRYPTOSPORIDIUM infection than other studied groups. This is due to using immune suppressive drugs in this kind of patients.
