Abstract

A 40 year-old man with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was evaluated parasitologically for ethiologic agent of his diarrhea persisting for two months. Stool samples were examined for parasites by conventional coprologic methods such as fresh preparation, iodine stain and flotation. Suspicious organisms seen in stool were stained by Kinyoun's acid-fast stain and identified as Cyclospora cayetanensis. The case presented here suggests that parasites like Cyclospora cayetanensis may be the causative agent of persisting diarrhea in immunocompromised patients.

Özet

Çalışmamızda acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) 'li 40 yaşında erkek hastada iki aydır devam eden ishalin parazitolojik yönden etken patojeni araştırılmıştır. Hastadan alınan dışkı örneğinde rutin tetkiklerden nativ, lügol ve flotasyon yöntemleri ile parazit araştırılmış ve şüpheli görüntülerin identifikasyonu için Kinyoun's asit-fast boyama yöntemi uygulanarak Cyclospora cayetanensis saptanmıştır. Çalışmada; daha çok immün direnci düşüklerde görülen, uzun süren ishal etkeni olabilen ve ülkemizde sınırlı sayıda olgu bildirimi olan C. cayetanensis'e dikkat çekilerek konunun önemi vurgulanmak istenmiştir.
