Overview

Microspridiosis is an opportunistic intestinal infection that causes diarrhea and wasting in immunocompromised individuals (HIV, for example). It results from different species of microsporidia, a group of protozoal parasites.

In HIV infected individuals, microsporidiosis generally occurs when CD4+ T cell counts fall below 100.
