Each two-vial pooled specimen set contained portions of stool from 3 consecutive days in Formalin and polyvinyl alcohol. Of the 274 patients, 133 (48.5%) harbored one or more intestinal protozoa, with 161 (43.3%) of the 372 specimens submitted being positive for one or more organisms. The parasites identified included Entamoeba histolytica (71 patients), Giardia lamblia (22 patients), Endolimax nana (106 patients), Entamoeba coli (39 patients), Entamoeba hartmanni (25 patients), Dientamoeba fragilis (3 patients), Iodamoeba bütschlii (2 patients), and Chilomastix mesnili (2 patients). Cryptosporidium sp. (2 patients) and Isospora belli (1 patient) were also detected. Results of this study support the experience of other workers regarding high rates of infection with intestinal parasites in the homosexual population and also indicate that symptomatic individuals belonging to this acquired immunodeficiency syndrome risk group be screened for both common and uncommon intestinal pathogens.Formats availableYou can view the full content in the following formats:PDF/ePubInformation & ContributorsInformationContributorsInformationPublished In Journal of Clinical MicrobiologyVolume 24 • Number 4 • October 1986Pages: 684 - 685PubMed: 2877006HistoryPublished online: 1 October 1986PermissionsRequest permissions for this article.Request permissionsDownload PDFContributorsExpand AllAuthorsC S PetersView all articles by this authorR SableView all articles by this authorW M JandaView all articles by this authorA L ChittomView all articles by this authorF E KockaView all articles by this authorMetrics & CitationsMetricsCitationsMetrics Article MetricsView all metricsDownloadsCitationsNo data available.0246JulAugSepOctNovDec1,43235TotalLast 6 MonthsLast 12 MonthsPattern of downloads for the most recent 6 whole calendar months.
