Abstract Microsporidia are obligate intracellular eukaryotic pathogens related to the Fungi that can infect both vertebrates and invertebrates. They were first identified about 150 years ago as the cause of pebrine, a disease of silkworms, with the description of Nosema bombycis in these economically important insects.

Workup of Gastrointestinal Microsporidiosis
Digestive Diseases, 1997Microsporidia, which are members of the phylum Microspora, are increasingly recognized as causing opportunistic infections in persons with immunodeficiency (e.g., AIDS). Diarrhea is the predominant clinical sign associated with infections by two Microsporidia, namely Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis (which was formerly named ...

Microsporidiosis: human diseases and diagnosis
Microbes and Infection, 2001Microsporidia are considered opportunistic pathogens in humans because they are most likely to cause diseases if the immune status of a host is such that the infection cannot be controlled. A wide spectrum of diseases has been reported among persons infected with microsporidia and different diagnostic techniques have been developed during the last ...

Microsporidiosis: An Unusual Endoscopic Finding
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2014A72-year-old man with hypertension, diabetes, and a recent kidney transplant who was taking mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, and prednisone was admitted to the hospital with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Patient started having 5–6 profuse watery bowel movements 4 days before admission.

Clinical Syndromes Associated with Microsporidiosis
Advances in Parasitology, 1998Microsporidia are ubiquitous in nature. Several clinical syndromes have been associated with microsporidiosis, especially in HIV-infected individuals, and include enteropathy, keratoconjunctivitis, sinusitis, tracheobronchitis, encephalitis, interstitial nephritis, hepatitis, cholecystitis, osteomyelitis, and myositis.

Diagnostic Pathology of Microsporidiosis
Ultrastructural Pathology, 2003Microsporidia are ubiquitous spore-forming parasites that are important worldwide pathogens in the HIV/AIDS pandemic. They are also increasingly being seen in HIV(-) individuals. Infection has been documented in almost every tissue and organ in the body and in a broad spectrum of cell types, including epithelial, mesenchymal, and neural.

Microsporidiosis: Molecular and Diagnostic Aspects
Advances in Parasitology, 1998The term 'microsporidia' is a nontaxonomic designation which is used to refer to a group of intracellular parasites belonging to the phylum Microspora. These eukaryotic obligate intracellular protozoans have been described infecting every major animal group, especially insects, fish and mammals. They are important agricultural parasites in commercially

Human Microsporidiosis and AIDS
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1989Several protozoan parasites of the phylum Microspora, previously only rarely recognized in humans, are being detected with increasing frequency in patients with AIDS. These protozoa are small obligate intracellular parasites of the intestine, liver, muscles, cornea, and several other tissues.

Corneal Microsporidiosis in a Patient with Aids
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1991Microsporidia are obligate intracellular protozoan parasites that are becoming increasingly recognized as opportunistic pathogens in patients with AIDS. They have been associated with enteritis, hepatitis, and peritonitis and recently keratoconjunctivitis. Gram stain demonstrates the presence of these organisms on light microscopic sections.
