Journal Title: International Journal of Current Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
Cryptosporidiosis is caused by the coccidian parasite Cryptosporidium and has a tendency to cause diarrhoea with dehydration in immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Here we describe the clinical course of a 4 year old male child who was HIV(Human immunodeficiency virus) reactive and improvement was seen after a course of Nitazoxanide.
