Q

CYSTOISOSPORA BELLI

pls study the pathogenesis

A

Infection is confined to the intestinal epithelial cells, and cause destruction of the surface layer of the intestine. There is malabsorption, markedly abnormal intestinal mucosa with short villi, hypertrophied crypts, and infiltration of the lamina propia with eosinophils, neutrophils, and round cells.
The infection is oftentimes asymptomatic and self-limiting. Some may manifest with mild gastrointestinal distress to severe dysentery producing pale yellow and foul-smelling stools that may suggest malabsorption process. Chronic diarrhea, weight loss, weakness, malaise, and anorexia may occur.
