Relatamos algumas observações, efetuadas com exames parasitológicos de fezes, em atividades rotineiras: os métodos de Faust e cols e de sedimentação espontânea em água não servem para evidenciação de Blastocystis hominis; foram encontradas expressivas porcentagens de presença desse protozoário, sobretudo quando realizada coloração pela hematoxilina férrica; houve 0,7% de registro de positividade para Cyclospora cayetanensis, sugerindo inclusão habitual de pesquisa, por técnicas apropriadas, de tal parasita.

Water Treatment Plants

ABSTRACTRecent studies suggest the involvement of water in the epidemiology ofCyclospora cayetanensisand some microsporidia. A total of 223 samples from four drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs), seven wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and six locations of influence (LI) on four river basins from Madrid, Spain, were analyzed from spring 2008 to winter 2009. Microsporidia were detected in 49% of samples (109/223),Cyclosporaspp. were detected in 9% (20/223), and both parasites were found in 5.4% (12/223) of samples. Human-pathogenic microsporidia were detected, includingEnterocytozoon bieneusi(C, D, and D-like genotypes),Encephalitozoon intestinalis,Encephalitozoon cuniculi(genotypes I and III), andAnncaliia algerae.C. cayetanensiswas identified in 17 of 20 samples. To our knowledge, this is the first study that shows a year-long longitudinal study ofC. cayetanensisin drinking water treatment plants. Additionally, data about the presence and molecular characterization of the human-pathogenic microsporidia in drinking water, wastewater, and locations of influence during 1 year in Spain are shown. It is noteworthy that although the DWTPs and WWTPs studied meet European and national regulations on water sanitary quality, both parasites were found in water samples from these plants, supporting the idea that new and appropriate controls and regulations for drinking water, wastewater, and recreational waters should be proposed to avoid health risks from these pathogens.

Cyclospora Cayetanensis

La diarrea del viajero es una de las condiciones que con mayor frecuencia afecta a los viajeros de países industrializados que visitan las zonas tropicales y subtropicales del planeta. El 20 a 50% de viajeros se van afectar por esta condición, siendo en ocasiones tan severa como para afectar los planes del viajero en la quinta parte de pacientes. El cuadro se manifiesta por la aparición de diarrea asociada a síntomas entéricos como dolor abdominal, nauseas, vómitos y en caso de diarrea inflamatoria fiebre y deposiciones con sangre. Entre los agentes etiológicos bacterianos más frecuentes están Escherichia coli enterotoxigénica, Salmonella, Shigella, entre otros agentes, aunque en cerca de la mitad de los casos no se aísla un agente etiológico. En caso de diarrea persistente debe descartarse parásitos y en zonas endémicas debe realizarse las pruebas especiales para descartar infección por Cyclospora cayetanensis. En pacientes con diarrea del viajero está indicado el manejo empírico con antibióticos, lo cual disminuye la duración de la enfermedad. En ausencia de fiebre o diarrea con sangre puede usarse loperamida. La prevención es importante en especialmente en pacientes de alto riesgo o en quienes sea importante que no se afecte el viaje.

Immunocompetent Patients

Infection with Cyclospora has been increasingly reported worldwide in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Here the cases of five patients infected with Cyclospora cayetanensis, who sought medical care at Hacettepe University in Turkey, are reported. Diarrhoea occurred from five to fifteen times a day in all of these patients, whose ages ranged from 27 to 67 years. All the patients were considered immunocompetent. Identification of C. cayetanensis was made by detection of the oocysts by using a modified acid-fast stain.
