title: [Evaluation of a prospective survey on cryptosporidiosis in a population of children hospitalized in Strasbourg].
abstract: Cryptosporidium sp is a new enteric pathogenic organism which is responsible for self-limited acute diarrhea in infants. During a prospective study we diagnosed the first pediatric cases of cryptosporidiosis in Strasbourg. This leads us to recommend that cryptosporidiosis be looked for in the etiological diagnosis of infantile diarrhea.
