[Chronic diarrhea and parasitoses in adults suspected of AIDS in the Ivory Coast].
148 adult patients with chronic diarrhoea and suspected to be HIV infected have had stool examinations. 46 are without any enteric parasite. Those detected in the others patients are Sporozoans: I. belli (16.2%) and Cryptosporidium sp. (6.7%) found alone or joint, together or with other parasites. Among those, all Flagellate species are identified, but T. intestinalis (6%) is predominant. Entamoeba coli (8.%) is the most frequent amebic species, however, E. histolytica histolytica have been found twice, once singly, the second associated with I. belli, Schistosoma mansoni and Candida albicans. Necator americanus (14%) and Strongyloides stercoralis (12%) are the predominant worm species. Among the yeasts, C. albicans (35.8%) is the most important species isolated, singly in 13.5% of the patients. In an intertropical and parasitical endemic area where many parasites are not considered uncommon, opportunist agents as I. belli, Cryptosporidium sp. and C. albicans appear in an non-negligible frequency in our study.
