Cryptosporidiosis Cryptosporidiosis parasites are passed in the stool of infected persons and animals. People get cryptosporidiosis when they swallow the parasites. Sources of disease include parasite-containing stool, food, and water. Anyone can get cryptosporidiosis, but persons with weakened immune systems can develop serious, life-threatening illness. There is no specific treatment for cryptosporidiosis. Cryptosporidiosis can be prevented by washing hands, drinking safe water, eating safe food, and avoiding all contact with the stool of infected persons or animals. What is cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic illness that causes diarrhea. What is the infectious agent that causes cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis is caused by Cryptosporidium parvum, a microscopic one-celled parasite that can live in the intestines of humans, farm animals, wild animals, and pets. Where is cryptosporidiosis found? Cryptosporidium parasites can be found anywhere in the environment that is contaminated by animal droppings or human waste. Cryptosporidium oocysts can contaminate soil and the food grown in it. They can get onto objects and surfaces that people touch. They can get into lakes, rivers, streams, and pools where people swim. They are also in many of the reservoirs that provide drinking water in the United States. How do people get cryptosporidiosis?

Cryptosporidiosis (krip-toe-spo-rid-e-o-sis), is a diarrheal disease caused by a parasite. The parasite, is called Cryptosporidium parvum and is single celled. It can only be viewed under a microscopic. Cryptosporidium parvum can live in the intestine of humans and animals. The parasite is passed in the stool of an infected person or animal. The disease and the parasite are referred to as "Crypto." What is a Parasite? A parasite is an organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host. The cryptosporidium parvum parasite can survive outside of the body for long periods of time. It can do this because it is protected by an outer shell. The outer shell is very resistant to chlorine disinfection. Symptoms? Some people do not have symptoms. The most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis is watery diarrhea. Other symptoms are abdominal cramps, nausea, low-grade fever , dehydration, and weight loss. Symptoms usually appear between 2 and 10 days after being infected. They symptoms usually last for about two weeks.

Oocysts appear as bright pink to red organisms containing some dark granules and usually have a central clear area.(Mod. acid fast stain) By the mid-1950s, infectious diseases appeared to be receding from the U.S.. Today, microbial health threats are once more a source of concern; these diseases are in some cases resurgent, eg. tuberculosis, and some completely new to humans, eg. Cryptosporidiosis. Much has been made recently of these emerging infections, from Ebola to hantavirus to a new form of cholera.

Cryptosporidiosis is an intestinal illness caused by a microscopic parasite called Cryptosporidium. Approximately 400-500 cases are reported in New York State each year. Is cryptosporidiosis a new disease? Although Cryptosporidium is not new, it was not recognized as a cause of human disease until 1976. Cryptosporidiosis was added to the list of reportable diseases in New York State in February 1994. What are the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis? The most common symptom is diarrhea, which is usually watery. It is often accompanied by abdominal cramping. Nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and loss of appetite may also occur. Some people infected with Cryptosporidium may not become ill. Who is susceptible to cryptosporidiosis and how long does the illness last?

14. ADAP Drugs: Paromomycin Used to treat diarrhea in people who are infected with cryptosporidiosis (crypto) or intestinal amoebiasis. Site includes drug description, side effects, and dosage. http://www.atdn.org/access/drugs/paro.html

paromomycin (Humatin) Drug description Paromomycin is used to treat diarrhea in people who are infected with cryptosporidiosis (crypto) or intestinal amoebiasis. Cryptosporidiosis is caused by a tiny organism which invades the intestinal tract. Crypto is one of the most common and certainly the most devastating gastrointestinal infection in people with HIV. Infection can occur with T4 cell counts under 100. The severity and duration of crypto are directly dependent on the immune status of the person infected. The primary symptom is diarrhea, which is profuse, watery, non-bloody, and often chronic. Infection is often accompanied by accelerated weight loss, as much as 20-30 percent of total body weight within a few weeks. Vomiting and crampy abdominal pain, at times severe, occur frequently as the illness persists. Anorexia, flatulence, and muscle aches occur, but fever is unusual. A recent study found that although cryptosporidiosis can sometimes get better on it's own, treatment with paromomycin was no better than a placebo or dummy pill. Side effects Adverse GI effects of paromomycin include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, gastric burning and pain, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea.

Conference Coverage New Mexico AIDS InfoNet Cryptosporidiosis January 10, 2005 What Is Cryptosporidiosis? Can Crypto Be Prevented? How Is Crypto Treated? The Bottom Line What Is Cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis (Crypto) is an infection. It is caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium parvum . Parasites get their nutrients from another living organism (the host). Crypto mainly affects the intestines and causes diarrhea. Crypto is easily spread by contaminated food or water, or direct contact with an infected person or animal. About 15% to 20% of people with AIDS are infected with crypto. Only some of these infections lead to serious disease. Crypto causes diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps. In people with healthy immune systems, these symptoms do not last more than about a week. See Fact Sheet 554 for more information on diarrhea.
