    (Department Of Zoology, Faculty Of Natural And Applied Sciences, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, 2006-09-12) Andrew, Yako B.; Duhlinska, D.D.; Molta, N.B.; Omalu, I.C.J.
    Pathogenic microsporidian was established among 96 AIDS-infected individuals where 966,42 (2.1%) males were confirmed positive with CD4+ count less than <335 cell/mm3 and-in the female category 1,042,54 (5.7%) had infection with CD4+ count less than <420 cell/mm3 at the first CD4+ count. Because of the pathogenic strain of microsporidiosis, diarrhoea was observed alongside other clinical symptoms at the second CD4+ count after 90 days, among the age of . 30-39 years old, the CD4+ count gradually droped to less than <200 cell/mm3 indicating high risk, of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and opportunistic infection established. However, there was no significant relationship among sexes given that, Z=1.039 <± 1.96 in other words, microsporidian was depended on age which shows a very close significant relationship among age groups (p- 815 > 0.05).
