Combination Drug Therapy for Cryptosporidiosis in AIDS [PDF]
Aside from effective antiretroviral therapy, there is no consistently effective antiparasitic therapy for cryptosporidiosis in AIDS. The purpose of this study was to assess safety, efficacy, and durability of combination therapy with paromomycin and azithromycin for chronic cryptosporidiosis. Patients with AIDS, chronic cryptosporidiosis, and < 100 CD4
