Abstract
This study detected of the molecular Cryptosporidium species in immunocompetent and immunocompromised
adults with diarrhea attended Kafrelsheikh University Hospitals and to assess
risk factors. Stool samples from 200 immunocompetent & 200 immunocompromised were
examined using acid fast (AF) stain and PCR/restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
targeting small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene. Cryptosporidium PCR amplified was 15(7.5%) in immunocompetent
and 23 (11.5%) immunocompromised, with significance difference as to age,
presence of mucous, abdominal pain (P<0.05). Cryptosporidium was more common in rural
areas in autumn and winter seasons. Two genotypes were C. hominis and C. parvum, but C.
hominis was 60% in immunocompetent and 82.6% in immunocompromised.
