Cryptosporidiosis is selflimited in immunocompetent persons, whereas in persons with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),Cryptospondiuminfection causes persistent enteritis that is usually lifelong and refractory to treatment (1). In our clinical practices, we observed men infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who had self-limited diarrhea due toCryptosporidiuminfection. To better define the laboratory and clinical characteristics associated with self-limited compared with persistent disease, we did a retrospective chart review of HIV-seropositive patients withCryptosporidiuminfection. We hypothesized that...References1. FayerUngar RL. Cryptosporidium spp. and cryptosporidiosis. Microbiol Rev. 1986;50:458-83. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2. .
