Cryptosporidium is a parasite that causes cryptosporidiosis, which is characterized by frequent, watery diarrhea. Cryptosporidium is the leading cause of water-related diarrhea outbreaks and the third leading cause of diarrhea.
Cryptosporidiosis in human beings is caused by coccidian parasite- Cryptosporidium parvum.
The acute symptoms include the following:
Severe, persistent infections can occur in immunocompromised patients. Infection may also be asymptomatic. The parasite has been implicated in several major waterborne outbreaks worldwide.
In case, you have developed cryptosporidiosis, the symptoms would usually appear 2 to 10 days (on average 7 days) after becoming infected with the parasite.
Feces are the most frequently examined sample while also sometimes small bowel aspirates, or biopsies or even the tissue samples might be available.
Presently, it is seen that the Cryptosporidium would be diagnosed by number of techniques that include- microscopic examination either by one of the following:
The Stool samples are tested for the presence of cryptosporidiosis.
Because detecting Cryptosporidium is difficult, patients may be asked to submit several stool samples over the course of several days.
Here are some guidelines an individual can refer to once they have decided to undergo a test to detect Cryptosporidium test
The required documents needed for this test includes your valid government ID and an appropriate Doctor’s prescription.
Note: The stool samples will be tested for the presence of the microorganism cryptosporidiosis.
It has been seen that detecting Cryptosporidium is difficult, so the patients might be asked to submit multiple stool samples over the course of the following few days.
No specific preparation is needed before the test.
Submit the sample to Ganesh Diagnostic Center or the technician would pick the sample from home for further testing for a few days.
No particular care is required, once the test sample has been collected.
PCR has been employed for the detection of Cryptosporidium species in the clinical samples, its prevalence in the stool samples are high in India. Generally, the finding of Cryptosporidium by using PCR has sensitivity which is say- between 97% and 100% and its presents with a specificity of 100%.

There are many species of the Cryptosporidium that exist infecting humans along with a wide range of animals.
Although the Cryptosporidium parvum and the Cryptosporidium hominis (formerly known as C. parvum anthroponotic genotype or the genotype 1)
They are the most prevalent species that cause diseases in humans, the infections by C. felis, C. meleagridis, C. canis, and C. muris have also been seen.
Most laboratories would also use the microscopic methods for the diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis.
Unfortunately, this method also has quite a few limitations as it- would require a minimum threshold of say 50,000 oocysts/ml of the stool sample- for the detection.
Hence, it becomes quite difficult to detect the parasite by the routine microscopy procedure.
The Cryptosporidium oocysts are usually not heat resistant and they can also be destroyed by the conventional milk pasteurization process.
An estimated temperature of greater than 73 °C is likely to cause an instantaneous inactivation.
Cryptosporidium is a microorganism that is responsible in causing diarrhea.
It is found in the stool of the individual infected with Crypto.
The Crypto is said to be protected by the tough outer shell, which also allows it to even survive for more than a period of 7 days.
It is even placed properly in chlorinated pools and in the water playgrounds.
Cryptosporidiosis can consider to be very contagious.
The infected person has the ability to infect others when symptoms begin and it lasts for several weeks even after the symptoms have disappeared.
The Infected people who no longer have symptoms have the potential to still infect others.
It is seen that people with a greater exposure to the contaminated materials are at a higher risk for an infection.
This includes the individuals who are in the following categories:
Diagnosis
Cryptosporidiosis is generally diagnosed by evaluating a stool specimen for the corresponding parasite.
The complications include the following:
Most people with healthy immune systems would not require any specific treatment and would recover from the Cryptosporidium infection on its own.
Diarrhea should be properly managed by consumption of plenty of fluids (water) to prevent any dehydration.
Nitazoxanide is the known to be the only drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat the patients that are aged 1 year or even older with the diarrhea associated with cryptosporidiosis.
Understanding the effectiveness of nitazoxanide in immunosuppressed people is highly unclear.
It would be beneficial to contact the health care professional to further discuss treatment options.
