AB Microsporidia are intracellular parasitic protozoa very common in
immunocompromised patients in many parts of the world. There is a
scarcity of data on the prevalence of these parasites in Italy. In this
study we examined stool samples of 56 HIV+ patients with diarrhoea to
find microsporidial spores, using the light microscopy Ryan modified
trichrome stain. Microsporidia were found in one out of 56 patients, who
was Cryptosporidium coinfected. Intestinal microsporidiosis seems to be
less frequent in AIDS patients from Italy than in those from other
countries.
