| dc.description.abstract | The infiltration of Microsporidium species in HIV/AIDS patients was subjected to parasitological examination of stool specimens at the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi. Of the total number 200/93 (46.50%) were positive for Microsporidium species. Giemsa ipethod was used and High infection rate was observed in both sexes (50.00%) and Civil servants (50.00%) were most vulnerable to microsporidium infection. The species, Enterocyto zoonbieneusi and Encephalito zoonintestinalis (21.50%) got infiltrated in the . gastrointestinal epithelium of of HIV/AIDS patients with a significant association of microsporidium and HIV virus ( = 3.288 < 7.815, df = 3). ). However, diarrhoea was frequent in the ages of 21 and 40 years (3 — 10 times bowel/ day). This condition was considered a significant cause of death and accelerates the patient’s illness with dehydration and emaciation seen among .patients. This calls for strict hygienic conditions to avoid infection* with microsporidia spores contaminated in water or food. . | en_US |
