An epidemiological study was done on 2 groups of children infected with watery diarrhea in some hospitals of Baghdad (Group 1 : Immunocompetent outpatients, Group 2 : Immunosuppressed inpatients).

Modified Cold Ziehl Neelsen stain was used in diagnosis.

The whole oocysts antigen prepared after conduction of experimental infection in 2 calves by using isolated oocysts from children stool, and this prepared antigen was used in Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Technique (IFAT).

The percentage of infection in the 2 groups of outpatients and inpatients were 21 2 % and 32 % respectively, and there was a difference in percentage of infection between the 3 groups of children, the highest was 36.4 % in group infected with leukemia and received chemical and radiotherapy.
