“…Upper respiratory cryptosporidiosis may cause inflammation of the nasal mucosa, sinuses, larynx, and trachea, accompanied by nasal discharge and voice change (54,61,62). Cryptosporidiosis of the lower respiratory tract typically results in productive cough, dyspnea, fever, and hypoxemia (63)(64)(65)(66).…”

“…Mixed infections involving multiple pathogens have also been identified (59,98,(100)(101)(102)112). Nonetheless, Cryptosporidium has been solely recovered from the respiratory tracts of a substantial number of patients with clinical disease (25,58,61,62,65,66,92,104,113,115), suggesting a primary role for the organism as a respiratory pathogen. While two patients from whom only Cryptosporidium was recovered were asymptomatic and lacked radiographic evidence of lung disease (58), the overwhelming majority had a cough, with or without respiratory distress, and pulmonary infiltrates on thoracic radiographs.…”

“…While cryptosporidiosis is predominantly a gastrointestinal disease, Cryptosporidium is able to complete its life cycle within the respiratory tract, causing respiratory cryptosporidiosis, which occurs mainly in immunocompromised patients [17][18][19]. Possible routes of infection include the spread of Cryptosporidium from the gastrointestinal tract to the respiratory tract through either circulation or inhalation of gastrointestinal contents during emesis.…”

“…A infecção respiratória e pulmonar ocorre com alguma freqüência, é geralmente observada em imunocomprometidos (BRADY et al, 1984;GIANG et al, 1994). Dillíngham et al, 2002, ressaltam a ocorrência de redução da condição física associada à diarréia precoce infantil, em crianças com 4 a 6 anos de idade, e, este efeito é mais pronunciado nos dois primeiros anos de vida.…”
