title: [The characteristics of cryptosporidiosis prevalence in Nizhni Novgorod Province].
abstract: A total of 4070 patients with acute intestinal diseases were tested for cryptosporidiosis in 1989, 1806 of these without diarrhea (controls), 286 of them working at slaughter houses, milk-packing plants and dairy plants, 192 subjects with a history of contacts with cryptosporidiosis patients in the focus of the disease, and 7 animals. Cryptosporidiosis was responsible for 3.2% of acute intestinal conditions in children; cryptosporidia oocysts were not detected in adults or healthy subjects. The high risk group invasion has made up 2.7%. Two cases of the invasion were detected among subjects with a history of contacts with cryptosporidiosis patients, this making up 1.04%, none of them presenting with any clinical symptoms of the invasion.
