About Crypto Infections | Cryptosporidium ("Crypto") | CDC
2024年6月5日 · When a person swallows Cryptosporidium, or "Crypto" germs, they can become infected. Symptoms of cryptosporidiosis generally begin 2 to 10 days (average 7 days) after infection and last 1 to 2 weeks. The most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis is watery diarrhea, but some people have no symptoms at all.

Clinical Presentation. Infection with Cryptosporidium spp. and genotypes results in a wide range of signs and symptoms. The incubation period is an average of 7 days (range: 2–10 days). Immunocompetent patients may present with diarrheal illness that is self-limiting, typically resolving within 2–3 weeks.
Cryptosporidium Infection: Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and …
2021年10月22日 · Cryptosporidium is a protozoan that infects a wide variety of vertebrates, including humans, causing acute gastroenteritis. The disease manifests with abdominal pain and diarrhea similar to that of choleric infection. In the immunocompromised hosts, the parasite causes prolonged infections that can also be fatal.
Cryptosporidium spp. diagnosis and research in the 21st century
The protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium has emerged as a leading cause of diarrhoeal illness worldwide, posing a significant threat to young children and immunocompromised patients.
Cryptosporidiosis: From Prevention to Treatment, a Narrative Review
In this review, we propose using the One Health approach as prophylactic prevention for Cryptosporidium infection in humans, animals, and the environment through understanding the disease pathogenesis, life cycle, genomics, epidemiology, previous outbreaks, source and transmission dynamics, host spectrum, risk factors, high-risk groups, disease ...

2020年9月13日 · Cryptosporidium is the second major cause of moderate to severe diarrhea in children younger than two and an important cause of mortality worldwide. It occurs most commonly during waterborne epidemics and in immunocompromised hosts. Cryptosporidiosis may be underrecognized and underdiagnosed.
Defining the diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis
2020年12月3日 · Refining the diagnosis of acute cryptosporidiosis is valuable as oocyst shedding can persist after diarrhoea ceases, and asymptomatic carriage can occur as recognised by Johansen and colleagues, who calculated quantitative cutoff values for association of test positivity with diarrhoea.
