Abstract

Diarrhoea is a common symptom among HIV-infected subjects. An infective cause is often missed. However, more recent knowledge about pathogens has led to the identification of newly recognized unusual microorganisms, such as Microsporidia. We report a case of infestation with these agents in an HIV-infected subject with chronic diarrhoea.
