Abstract
A 30-year-old black female, from Burkina Faso, had AIDS in 1990. She died in March 1993 following a cachexia secondary to a chronic intestinal isosporiasis. The autopsy revealed a massive parasitic infection by I. belli of the small intestine mesenteric and mediastinal lymph nodes and liver and spleen. The parasite stage observed in extra intestinal sites corresponded to unizoite tissue cysts. This is the first report of I. belli infection in liver and spleen.Entities:
