Overview
Poor sanitary conditions, immunocompromised states from HIV infection and exposure to animals have been implicated in the transmission of microsporidia infection.[1]
Risk Factors
Intestinal microsporidiosis in persons with HIV infection have been linked with male homosexuality and swimming in pools, suggesting a fecal-oral transmission, including sexual and waterborne routes.[2]
