[Cryptosporidium sp. infection in Cuban individuals infected by HIV].

A study was conducted on the presence of Cryptosporidium sp in 47 Cuban adult patients infected by HIV in different infective stages in order to assess for the first time its prevalence in this group. The parasite was found in 18 patients (38.3%), of whom 18 (44.7%) were asymptomatic. The most frequent symptoms were aqueous diarrhea, fever, abdominal colics, asthemia and weight loss. Emphasis is placed on the frequently asymptomatic nature of these infections, which could be an important reservoir for nosocomial transmission of this disease among individuals with immunological disregulations.

[Clinical, laparoscopic and histologic study of 60 patients with schistosomiasis mansoni].

Schistosomiasis mansoni was diagnosed to 60 patients coming from the African continent. Coproparasitologic study by Knight technique was performed to all of them, and presence of parasite eggs was demonstrated. The hematologic study showed eosinophilia and the study of the hepatic profile was normal. The patients were clustered into three groups in order to be treated with different drugs. Laparoscopic study and hepatic biopsy were performed to all patients at their admission to hospital and one year after treatment. Effectiveness of praziquantel accounted for 95% of oxamniquine for 75% and etrenol for 55%.
