Cryptosporidium infections in children in Durban. Seasonal variation, age distribution and disease status.

D Moodley1, T F Jackson, V Gathiram, J van den Ende.   

Abstract

One hundred and eleven of 1,229 children (9%) aged less than 10 years admitted to King Edward VIII Hospital, Durban, with gastro-enteritis over a period of 1 year were found to harbour Cryptosporidium. Of these, 96 (89.7%) were less than 2 years of age. Cryptosporidium was the only potential pathogen identified in 80 of these patients (6.5%). The prevalence in paediatric patients without gastro-enteritis was 2.4% (3/124). During the study period Cryptosporidium infections were significantly more prevalent during the high rainfall season (P = 0.03).
