Abstract
Background: Cryptosporidiosis infection caused by group of protozoan parasite with in phylum Apicomplexa. Cryptosporidiosis is more
prevalent in patients with immunosuppressed conditions like AIDS and also be seen in immunocompetent patients with asymptomatic or acute or
persistent self-limiting diarrhea. Prospective cohort study was conducted March 2019 and April 202 Material And Methods: 0 to estimate
prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in immunocompetent patients. . Out of 230 stool samples collected fr Result: om 177 adults and 53 children, 47
(20.43%) were positive for Cryptosporidium. Out of 53 stool samples from children, 13 (24.52%) were positive and out of 177 adult 34 were
positive (19.20%). The present study thus highlights the importance of Conclusion: Cryptosporidium as a cause of diarrhoea, especially in
immunocompetent adults.
