| description | Objective: To reassess the usefulness of microscopic stool examination for the HIV infected patients with acute diarrhea.
Methods: Overall 100 HIV–infected patients receiving standard antiretroviral therapy who visited to a primary care center (for privacy reason, the name is hereby blinded) with compliant of acute diarrhea were reviewed. In all patients, the standard microscopic stool examination was performed.
Results: Of interest, from overall 100 indexed cases, there is no case with determined parasite in stool samples.
Conclusions: Based on our setting, it seems that there is diagnostic role of using microscopic stool examination for determining possible parasitic infestation in HIV infected patients receiving standard antiretroviral therapy who present with acute diarrhea. |
