Prevalence of intestinal parasites in HIV seropositive patients in infectious diseases Hospital, Kano (IDH)
It has been increasingly recognized that enteric protozoan parasites are important in immunocompromised individuals. These pathogens tend to aid disease progression or otherwise in such individuals. The association between intestinal parasites and HIV seropositive subjects in IDH was evaluated using fresh stool samples from 106 patients and 3op controls. Samples collected included both male and female in age ranges of 15-50. Stool samples were examined microscopically for consistency, presence of blood, mucus and adult worms.
