Information Opportunistic Infections: Cryptosporidiosis Basic Information the digestive track the small intestine (most cases) the airways and lung bile duct the colon and other gastrointestinal tract areas Cryptosporidiosis is usually not an early opportunistic infection but normally appears in advanced stages of HIV disease in fact it has been reported as the first manifestation of HIV disease in less than 2% of U.S. patients. The transmission of this protozoan parasite occurs mainly by the ingestion of fecally contaminated food and water. It is thought to be acquired most often by drinking contaminated water there have been sizeable outbreaks of this parasite from contaminated surface water (from untreated sewage) in the U.S. Contaminated drinking water is a particular problem in Africa where over half of patients with advanced HIV disease develop cryptosporidiosis. The biology of this particular parasite is not very well comprehended and it has been linked to diarrhea in humans relatively recently previously it was only thought to affect animals. But it is found in both human and animal feces and has been seen as a matter of course in cattle and persons who handle cattle, but in persons whose immune systems are not compromised cryptosporidiosis is usually a self-limiting illness that resolves within one or two weeks.

Home Search Employee Locator Visitor Info ... Alphabetical Index of Health Topics Cryptosporidiosis Question: A caller from Virginia was concerned about cryptosporidiosis and municipal drinking water supplies... Answer: One more of the worrisome problems is knowing that the parasite is in much of the untreated surface water in the US and that even new, state-of-the-art water treatment facilities have trouble filtering or killing it. Most people can tolerate small numbers of the parasite in their drinking water and most people in Milwaukee recovered in one to two weeks with nothing more than a case of diarrhea. However, for people who have weak immune system, i.e., persons with AIDS or recent recipients of an organ transplant, cryptosporidiosis can be life-threatening. Federal health officials have recommended those most susceptible to cryptosporidiosis to boil their water for drinking, cooking, or making ice. To reduce risk, always wash your hands after toilet use and before handling food. In changing diapers, wash your hands, even if you wear gloves. During community wide outbreaks, boil water for drinking, cooking, and making ice for at least one minute to kill the parasite and cool the water before use.

Skip Menu Cryptosporidiosis What is cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal illness of varying severity caused by a microscopic intestinal parasite, Cryptosporidium . It is a common cause of diarrhea worldwide and frequently occurs in AIDS patients. How do you get it? You get cryptosporidiosis by eating food or drinking water contaminated with feces (solid wastes) from poultry, cattle, rodents, cats, dogs, and humans who are infected. Person-to-person, animal-to-person, and transmission via contaminated food or water are all important moses of spreading this disease. The oocysts (eggs) of the parasite can remain infective outside the body for 2 - 6 months in a moist environment. What are the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis? The major symptoms are abdominal cramping and watery diarrhea, often profuse. Less commonly, malaise, nausea, vomiting, and low grade fever may also occur. When do the symptoms start? The symptoms usually start about 7 days after exposure to the parasite, but the onset can range from 1 to 12 days. What is the treatment for cryptosporidiosis?

Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Cryptosporidiosis What is Cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis is an intestinal illness caused by the parasite, Cryptosporidium parvum . The parasite multiplies in the intestine and produces cysts which are passed from the body in the stool (bowel movement). Who gets Cryptosporidiosis? Anyone can get cryptosporidiosis, but those individuals with a weakened immune system, such as that caused by AIDS/HIV infection, cancer and transplant patients who are taking certain immunosuppresive drugs, and those with inherited diseases that affect the immune system are at a higher risk for a more serious illness. How is Cryptosporidiosis spread? A person becomes infected with Cryptosporidium by eating or drinking something that was contaminated with infected stool or sewage. What are the symptoms of Cryptosporidiosis? Some individuals infected with Cryptosporidium have no symptoms. Others may have diarrhea with loose or watery stool, stomach cramps, upset stomach, and a slight fever. How soon do symptoms occur?

DHS home Public Health Diseases Disease index Cryptosporidiosis - Fact sheet Cryptosporidiosis More info Reporting Statistics Cryptosporidiosis (often called "crypto") is a diarrheal disease caused by a one-celled parasite called Cryptosporidium parvum . Few people had heard of crypto until 1993, when over 400,000 people in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, became ill after their drinking water became contaminated with the parasite. Large outbreaks and isolated cases of crypto have been identified in Oregon as well. This has focused attention on determining and reducing the risk for cryptosporidiosis from community and municipal water supplies. During 1992-2001 an average of 52 cases of cryptosporidiosis per year were reported in Oregon. For persons with suppressed immune systems, for example persons with AIDS, some cancers, or recent organ transplants, the infection may persist indefinitely, and symptoms may be more severe.

Cryptosporidiosis, or "crypto" for short, is a disease caused by an organism called Cryptosporidium parvum . The organism infects the lining of the small intestine and can cause severe diarrhea and malabsorption (an inability to absorb nutrients). Cryptosporidium parvum is spread by feces. Food or water contaminated with animal feces may carry this organism; it's also possible that oral-anal sex may spread the infection. On occasion, there are outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis that can be traced to a feces-contaminated water supply. This is most common in warm-weather climates.
