The first case of Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in Poland
Journal Title: Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Microsporidia are intracellular parasites that cause opportunistic infections in humans of various immunological status. Only a few case reports exist on microsporidial infection in solid organ transplant recipients worldwide. The presented study demonstrates the first case in Poland of [i]Enterocytozoon bieneusi [/i]infection in a liver transplant patient. Parasites were diagnosed in stool samples using both modified trichrome staining and PCR.
