ABSTRACT
To study the importance of cryptosporidium as a diarrhoea causing pathogen (using stool samples), a cohort study was conducted from 14-9-1994 to 14-3-1995 on injecting drug users in Imphal. Stool samples were also collected from close contacts of the patients of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected cryptosporidium diarrhoea cases and patients of paediatric medicine ward of Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal. A total of 9 cases of cryptosporidium diagnosed out of 11 HIV infected diarrhoea cases and 2 out of 11 personal contacts were found to be positive. Two cases with history of close contacts with HIV infected cryptosporidium diarrhoea cases were not suffering from diarrhoea. One out of 7 paediatric diarrhoea cases was found to be positive. Five out of 9 HIV infected cryptosporidial cases died within one month of diagnosis of cryptosporidium. The remaining 4 had improved and diarrhoea was controlled. One of the 4 did not show cryptosporidium any more in the stool sample.
