Cryptosporidium infections in humans with gastroenteritis in Zaria, Nigeria.

Abstract

The stool samples of 75 patients with gastroenteritis and/or loose and watery faeces at three hospitals and one clinic in Zaria were examined for Cryptosporidium. The stool samples were concentrated by the formol-ether method and stained with safranin-methylene blue. Sixteen (21%) samples were positive. The rate of detection was higher among females (27%) than males (17%) and among adults (29%) than children (8%). The study confirmed the presence and possible significance of Cryptosporidium, which is a known zoonotic protozoan, in the aetiology of human gastroenteritis in Zaria, Nigeria.
