摘要：

Tunisian children were screened for Cryptosporidium oocysts using the classical Ziehl Nielsen modified technique, 112 stool specimens from immunocompetent patients and 20 stool specimens from patients with congenital immunodeficiency were examined. 9 out of the 112 (8 %) immunocompetent children and 3 out of the 20 (15 %) immunodeficient ones (p = 0.26). were carriers, This study demonstrated the high rate of intestinal Cryptosporidium carriage in both immunocompetent and immunodeficient children, in Tunisia. A case control study including investigation of other pathogens (viruses, bacteria) is necessary to better estimate pathogenicity of Cryptosporidium species.
