[Cryptosporidiosis among intestinal parasitosis in Senegalese pediatric hospital patients].
From November 1991 to March 1992 authors have carried out a study on the place of cryptosporidiosis among the intestinal diseases in children from a Dakar Pediatric Hospital. Different technics have been used to identify the parasites in the stool: direct examination, followed by Ritchie and Zielh Nielsen modified by Henricksen and Poblenz. The results show that 32% of the children were carriers parasites. Helminths represent 53.2% of the parasites with predominance of Ascaris lumbricoides. Giardia intestinalis is the more representative parasite among the Protozoa which constitute 46.8% of the parasites. 13 cases of parasites associations have been founded. The cryptosporidies have been founded in 3 stools, and constitute 4.6% of the whole parasites. The cryptosporidiosis take a little place among the intestinal diseases in Dakar's children.
