| Abstract | ||||
| Parasitosis causes significant morbidity and mortality among immunosuppressed hosts. Acquisition of infection, clinical severity, and outcome of a parasitic disease depend on innate and acquired host immunity and parasites’ own response to its host after infection. This study evaluated parasitic infections among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) from Sohag Governorate Hospitals. A total of 100 morning stool samples were collected from the patients and another 100 stool samples from healthy control from January to May 2020. Each sample was divided into two parts; one part for microscopic examination, and the second was preservation and late need. The intestinal parasites were 66/100 CKD patients (66%), whom 25 with nephritic syndrome and 41 on dialysis patients compared to 31/100 controls. The results showed that the commonest one was Cryptosporidium pyrvum with or without Microsporidia spores. | ||||
