infection with a protozoan parasite of the Microsporidia family (e.g., Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Septata intestinalis) which may affect the sinuses, lungs and intestines of immunocompromised patients.
infection with a protozoan parasite of the Microsporidia family, which may affect the sinuses, lungs and intestines in immunocompromised patients, and may become disseminated.
an intestinal infection that causes diarrhea and wasting in people with HIV. It results from two different species of microsporidia, a protozoal parasite. Two common organisms that cause it are Enterocytozoon and Septata. Among the possible treatments are THALIDOMIDE and ALBENDAZOLE.
An intestinal infection that causes diarrhea and wasting in persons with HIV. It results from two different species of microsporidia, a protozoal parasite. See Pathogen; Protozoa; AIDS Wasting Syndrome.
Disease resulting from infection with a protozoal pathogen from the Microsporida order. See also Pathogen; Protozoa.
An intestinal infection that causes diarrhea and wasting in persons with HIV. It results from two species of microsporidia, a protozoal parasite. In HIV infection, it generally occurs when CD4+ T-cell counts fall below 100. See AIDS Wasting Syndrome; Pathogen; Protozoa.
an intestinal infection that causes diarrhea, disseminated disease, and wasting in people with HIV. It results from two different species of microsporidia, Enterocytozoon bieneusi, and Septata intestinalis.
Microspridiosis is an opportunistic intestinal infection that causes diarrhea and wasting in immunocompromised individuals (HIV, for example). It results from different species of microsporidia, a group of protozoal parasites.
