Criptosporidiasis humana en el Ecuador
Resumen
Presentamos el primer repórte de criptosporidiosis humana asociado con diarrea en Quito, Ecuador. Utilizando lá técnica de DMSO-^ácido-—resistente, hemos podido demostrar la presencia dé cacitos de Criptosporídium ásociado con dos casos de gastroenteritis aguda. Es importante que se considere á éste parásito cómo posible agente etiológico en diarreas de inicio agudo, prolongadas y acuosas con una mayor frecuencia en los niños¿ De ahí que recomendamos la búsqueda rutinaria de este parásito en todos los laboratorios clínicos. Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito), 10; S, 1985).
