Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and Genotype of Cryptosporidium spp. in different groups of Immunocompromised patients admitted to the referral hospitals in center of Iran during 2015– 2016. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 346 Immunocompromised patients (HIV+/AIDS, Lymphoma, Leukemia and organ transplants) in referred hospitals from central parts of Iran including Isfahan, Markazi, Yazd and Chaharmahale Bakhtiari provinces. Stool samples were analyzed for Cryptosporidium species, modified Ziehl– Neelsen staining techniques followed by the semi-nested PCR and DNA sequencing methods. Results: The total rate of Cryptosporidium spp. was 3. 46% (12/346) in the patients, however, the prevalence of the parasite, was 4. 6% (4/87) in HIV+/AIDS patients, 3. 6% (6/168) in patients with blood malignancy and 2. 1% (2/91) in organ transplant recipients. The SSU rRNA gene of Cryptosporidium spp. in all microscopic-positive samples was effectively amplified by the semi-nested PCR and DNA sequences, exposed the existence of two Cryptosporidium species, including C. hominis 91. 6% (11/12) and C. parvum 8. 3% (1/12). Conclusion: The predominance of C. hominis in the present study may be certifies the importance of anthroponotic transmission of cryptosporidiosis in center of Iran.
