Cryptosporidiosis in black South African children.
The incidence of cryptosporidiosis in young children was determined by staining of faecal specimens with a modified Kinyoun stain. Seventeen of 92 (18,4%) children with diarrhoea and 1 of 29 (3.4%) controls excreted Cryptosporidium oocysts, suggesting that this was an important enteric pathogen in these children.
