Intestinal microsporidiosis in a German patient with AIDS

Klinische Wochenschrift, 1991
Since intestinal microsporidiosis might be of importance in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients infected with HIV, we examined duodenal biopsies of HIV-infected patients by electron microscopy. Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection of the small intestine was found in one of 23 patients studied, which gives a 95% confidence interval ...

Intestinal microsporidiosis.

Seminars in gastrointestinal disease, 1997
Intestinal microsporidiosis is caused by the protozoan parasites Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis. The disease has been described within the past decade and is found predominantly in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients in association with diarrhea.

Intestinal microsporidiosis: a current infection in HIV-seropositive patients in Portugal

Microbes and Infection, 2001
Intestinal microsporidiosis is recognised as an important cause of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, especially those with AIDS. Two species are implicated in diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal disease in HIV-infected patients: Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis.

Clinical and microscopical features of small-intestinal microsporidiosis in patients with AIDS

Infection, 1995
Intestinal microsporidiosis by Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an increasingly recognized infection in AIDS patients. We report eight cases of microsporidiosis. All patients were severely immunodepressed. Clinical features were highly variable. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 7.8 months. All patients had persistent infection during the follow-

Intestinal microsporidiosis with Septata intestinalis in a patient with AIDS—response to albendazole

Journal of Infection, 1995
Microsporidiosis is a common finding in HIV-infected patients who have diarrhoea. The species most commonly causing gastrointestinal disease is Enterocytozoon bieneusi. Recently Septata intestinalis has been described as a cause of diarrhoea and disseminated infection in patients with AIDS. A 44-year-old homosexual man with severe immunodeficiency (CD4

Intestinal Microsporidiosis in a Chilean Patient with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)

Pathology - Research and Practice, 1993
A 24-year-old male patient with AIDS diagnosed in 1989, and with several episodes of pneumocystosis, was admitted because of a chronic diarrheic syndrome and severe epigastric pain. Endoscopy showed a granular duodenal mucosa. Light microscopy showed a moderate villous atrophy with round-cell inflammatory infiltration of the chorion.

Intestinal microsporidiosis in Italian individuals with AIDS.

The Italian journal of gastroenterology, 1997
A survey on microsporidiosis in individuals with AIDS presenting chronic diarrhoea was carried out in Italy, over a four-year period (1992-1995). Three out of 72 (4.2%) individuals were found positive, on intestinal biopsies, for Enterocytozoon bieneusi by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
