Abstract

A 13-month study of children presenting with acute diarrhoeal disease at hospitals and rehydration clinics in Antananarivo, Madagascar, was undertaken between May 2004 and May 2005. Cryptosporidiosis accounted for diarrhoea in 12 (5.6%) of the 215 children investigated. Cases of cryptosporidiosis were detected only in the rainy season, and the median age of cases was 13.5 months (range=1 day-27 months). As 11 of the cases of cryptosporidiosis were caused by Cryptosporidium hominis and only one by C. parvum, most of the cases were probably the result of anthroponotic transmission. GP60/45/15 gene polymorphisms indicated that the causative pathogens were of subtypes Ia, Id, Ie and IIc.
