隐孢子虫是社区胃肠炎的一个重要原因，通常与饮用受污染的水，游泳池或动物接触有关。在免疫功能正常的患者中，隐孢子虫病通常是一种自限性疾病，但在免疫功能低下的患者中可能是毁灭性的疾病。本文报告了一个隐孢子虫病的家庭爆发，并描述了一个可能的医院感染隐孢子虫在一个病人和随后的传播寄生虫之间的成员，他的家庭。指示患者是一名72岁的男性，在第三次中风后出现轻偏瘫，在持续腹泻28天后死亡。必须采取控制措施以防止隐孢子虫卵囊的医院传播。
Cryptosporidium is an important cause of community gastroenteritis, usually associated with drinking contaminated water, visits to swimming pools or animal exposure. In immunocompetent patients, cryptosporidiosis is usually a self-limiting disease but it can be devastating illness in immunocompromised persons. is report presents a family outbreak of cryptosporidiosis and describes a probable nosocomial infection with Cryptosporidium in one patient and subsequent spread of the parasite among members of his family. The index patient, a 72-year-old man with hemiparesis after his third stroke, died after 28 days of persistent diarrhea. Control measures must be undertaken to prevent nosocomial transmission of cryptosporidial oocysts.
