Blastocystis

Note Fecal screening may show other intestinal parasites, including Cryptosporidium spp., Balantidium coii, Dientamoeba fragiiis, Isospora belli, C. lamblia, or Blastocystis hominis. [Pg.1142]

Amenta M, Dalle Nogare ER, Colomba C, Prestileo TS, Di Lorenzo F, Fundaro S, Colomba A, Ferrieri A Intestinal protozoa in HIV-infected patients Effect of rifaximin in Cryptosporidium parvum and Blastocystis hominis infections. J Chemother 1999 11 391-395. [Pg.35]

Interestingly, in a small study on patients with AIDS, rifaximin was found to be effective against infectious diarrhea with stool cultures positive for protozoal pathogens, such as Cryptosporidium parvum and Blastocystis hominis [34], The favorable effects of rifaximin on protozoal diarrhea have been also reported in a recent multicenter study on patients with travelers diarrhea [33], In fact, patients with pretreatment stools positive for Cryptosporidium infections obtained a clinical improvement with rifaximin significantly superior to the placebo-treated subjects. [Pg.70]
