Abstract
BACKGROUND : To investigate the variations, if any, in the types of intestinal parasites in HIV positive and HIV negative individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: for their HIV status in our laboratory by ELISA and TRIDOT, sample stool,Macroscopic and Microscopic examination,Formal – ether concentration technique f, Saline wet mount, Iodine wet mount, Modified acid-fast stain. RESULTS : For the purpose of statistical analysis, the enteric parasites are divided into the coccidian group (Cryptosporidium+Isospora belli) and conventional enteric parasites (E.histolytica, G.intestinalis and A.lumbricoides),Enteric parasitic infection is more common in HIV positive patients with diarrhea than HIV positive patient without diarrhea or HIV negative individuals. CONCLUSION: The study period of one year and eight months revealed that it is difficult to locate / identify a HIV positive person in a place like Kadapa on account of confidentiality / lack of awareness among the population.Detection of intestinal parasites is 17.3% in HIV positive patients and 12% in HIV negative individuals.
