Cystoisosporiasis
Symptoms and Signs of Cystoisosporiasis
The primary symptom of cystoisosporiasis is sudden, nonbloody, watery diarrhea, with fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, anorexia, and malaise. In immunocompetent patients, the illness usually resolves spontaneously but can last weeks. In hosts with depressed cell-mediated immunity as occurs in AIDS, cystoisosporiasis may cause a prolonged illness with severe, intractable, voluminous diarrhea, and weight loss resembling that in Cryptosporidiosis .
