Overview

Cyclospora cayentanensis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause watery diarrhea, loss of appetite and abdominal pain, such as viral gastroenteritis (adenovirus, rotavirus, norovirus), bacterial infections (bacillus cereus, clostridium perfringens, vibrio cholerae) or other protozoan infections (entamoeba histolytica, isosporiasis, cryptosporidium parvum).

Differentiating Cyclosporiasis from Other Diseases

Infectious Causes of Watery Diarrhea

Differential Diagnosis Additional Findings
Adenovirus Fever, flu-like symptoms, more common in children
Rotavirus Most common cause of watery diarrhea in children
Norovirus Nausea, vomiting, low grade fever, food or waterborne transmission
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) "Traveler's diarrhea", cholera-like diarrhea, foodborne transmission, ingestion of undercooked hamburger meat
Food poisoning (S. aureus, C. perfringens, B. cereus) Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, toxins foodborne infection
Campylobacter jejuni Fever, may be associated with bloody stools, ingestion of undercooked poultry
Salmonellosis Fever, abdominal pain, may have bloody stools
Vibrio cholerae Profuse watery diarrhea ("rice water"), vomiting, dehydration
Giardia intestinalis foul-smelling stools, bloating, flatulence, malabsorption
Cryptosporidium spp Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, weight loss, associated with HIV infection[1]
Isospora belli Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, weight loss, associated with HIV infection[1]
Irritable bowel syndrome Diarrhea and constipation, abdominal pain, no fever.
