Prevalence of Isospora Belli in Hiv Patients With Diarrhoea in Salem, Tamilnadu

Abstract

BACKGROUNDIntestinal parasitic infestations are associated with acute and chronic diarrhoea in HIV patients. Almost all the HIV/AIDS patients are susceptible to parasitic infections; the risk is more among those individuals whose immunity is very low. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Isospora belli in HIV patients with diarrhoea.
