AB BACKGROUND: Microsporidian protozoa are increasingly recognized as
pathogenic organisms related to host immunosuppression. CASE: We report
a case of pulmonary microsporidiosis detected in aspirated bronchial
material and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected from a
26-year-old, male acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patient presenting
pulmonary symptoms and known to have intestinal microsporidiosis. The
diagnosis was made on cytologic examination of the material processed
according to the Papanicolaou technique, evaluated by Giemsa, Gram's,
Grocott and chromotrope-2R modified trichrome preparations and by
fungi-fluor fluorescent mycology stain. CONCLUSION: Our findings reveal
an important fluorescent property of intracellular microsporidian
spores, heretofore undescribed in the literature.
