	NJDHSS, Communicable Disease Service: 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).
		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.

	Cryptosporidiosis facts
		Cryptosporidiosis is an infectious diarrheal disease caused by the Cryptosporidium parasite.
		Cryptosporidiosis is spread through fecal-oral transmission by feces of an infected person or an object that has been contaminated with the infected person's feces.
		The spread of cryptosporidiosis is highest among children who are not toilet-trained, and higher among toddlers than infants, probably due to the toddlers' increased movement and interaction among other children.

	Cryptosporidiosis (crip-toe-spor-id-i-ho-sis)
		Cryptosporidiosis is an intestinal illness caused by a microscopic parasite called Cryptosporidium.
		Because cryptosporidiosis is transmitted by the fecal-oral route, the greatest potential to transmit the organism comes from infected people who have diarrhea, people with poor personal hygiene and diapered children.
		Because cryptosporidiosis can be a severe disease in immunocompromised persons, such individuals should discuss the need for extra precautions with their health care provider to minimize their risk of infection.

	Cryptosporidiosis
		Cryptosporidiosis is an illness caused by the protozoan Cryptosporidium, a single-celled parasite.
		Thus, cryptosporidiosis can be acquired by person to person or animal to person transmission and by drinking contaminated water.
		Because cryptosporidiosis is transmitted by the fecal-oral route, persons with the greatest potential to transmit the organism include infected persons who have diarrhea, persons who are incontinent of stool, persons with poor personal hygiene, and diapered children.

	TAG: The OI Report - cryptosporidiosis
		Human cryptosporidiosis is generally caused by C. parvum, and its primary clinical manifestation is profuse, watery, non-bloody diarrhea.
		There are three types of clinical presentations of cryptosporidiosis in persons with HIV infection: transient or acute disease, which lasts less than 28 days (typically in persons with CD4 counts greater than 200); chronic disease, with diarrhea lasting more than 28 days; and fulminant disease, with greater than or equal to 20 stools a day.
		This placebo effect, common in cryptosporidiosis, testifies to the power of a patient's own belief that a treatment may be efficacious, whether or not it really is, and is manifested in double-blind trials when patients on placebo experience symptomatic relief.

		Cryptosporidiosis is also recognized as a cause of persistent diarrhea in children and severe prolonged diarrhea in patients with AIDS.
		Chronic cryptosporidiosis may be complicated by biliary tract disease, malabsorption, and death in AIDS patients and malnourished children.

	aidsmap.com \| Cryptosporidiosis
		Cryptosporidiosis (sometimes called 'crypto' for short - but not to be confused with cryptococcal meningitis) was first reported in humans in 1976.
		Cryptosporidiosis is normally diagnosed by testing a sample of stool (faeces) for the organisms or performing a rectal biopsy, a relatively simple and painless procedure.
		Cryptosporidiosis may result from being exposed to the organism for the first time, or from the activation of latent infection.

		While cryptosporidiosis is normally not a serious disease, for persons with a severely weakened immune system, it can lead to a serious or life-threatening illness.
		The best ways to prevent cryptosporidiosis are through good personal hygiene, avoiding unsafe water sources, and avoiding unboiled water and uncooked foods in areas known to have poor sanitation.
		There is no completely effective treatment for cryptosporidiosis, and persons with a healthy immune system generally recover on their own.

		Persons at increased risk for Cryptosporidiosis include child care workers; diaper-aged children who attend day-care centers; persons exposed to human feces by sexual contact; and caregivers who might come in direct contact with feces while caring for a person infected with Cryptosporidiosis at home or in a medical facility.
