Abstract EN
Cryptosporidium parvum as genus of apicomplexan parasitic protozoa is well known as a worldwide protozoan parasite in both human and a wide range of animals and considered as one of the major causes of severe life-threatening diarrhea in immunodeficient people and self- limiting in healthy individuals.
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of C.parvum in stool samples of diarrheic patients , this study is carried out in Thi –Qar Province / Al-Rifeadistrict in Al-Rifai general Hospital which included collection of stool samples from diarrheic patients at a period extended from October / 2017 – January / 2018 , (603) stool samples taken from patients with different ages to both sexes examined by microscopic examination and PCR technique.
The results showed the percentage of positive samples C.
parvum by microscopic examination was (5.1%) and negativesampleswas (94.9%), the highest infected patients found (58%) in males and lowest infected patients found (42%) in females,the highest infected patients found (64.5%) in Rural area and lowest infected patients found (35.5%) in Urbanarea, inage groupthe highest infected patients was (35.5%) inAge groupLess than (1-10years)and lowest infected patients found (9.7%) in age group (21-30) years.
