本文测定了西班牙东北部阿拉贡地区儿童隐孢子虫病的季节分布。在6年间(1988年10月至1994年9月)，对4508名有胃肠道症状的儿童的10034份粪便标本进行了分析，患者年龄为1个月至14岁。检出隐孢子虫卵囊87例(1.93%)，以1~3岁儿童最高(6.20%)，秋冬季(10~3月)显著高于春夏期(4~9月)(2.41%vs 1.35%，p=0.010)，1~3岁组(8.44%vs 3.20%，p=0.002)。这一模式可能与幼儿中心的出勤率有关。
The seasonal distribution of cryptosporidiosis in children in Aragon, a region in northeastern Spain, was determined, Over a period of six years (October 1988 to September 1994), 10,034 stool samples from 4,508 children with gastrointestinal symptoms were analyzed for this purpose, The age of the patients ranged from 1 month to 14 years. Cryptosporidium oocysts were identified in 87 (1.93%) patients, Prevalence was highest (6.20%) in children aged 1 to 3 years old, The prevalence was significantly higher in the autumn-winter period (October to March) than in the spring-summer period (April to September) in the whole population (2.41% vs, 1.35%, p = 0.010) and in the 1- to 3-year-old age group (8.44% vs, 3.20%, p = 0.002), but not in the other age groups, A possible relationship of this pattern to attendance at child care centres is suggested.
