Cryptosporidiosis among People Living with HIV/AIDS on Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) at Mukono Church of Uganda Hospital, Uganda
Abstract
This study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis among People living with HIV (PLWH) on Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)and relate the prevalence to possession of pets and the immune status of the individual attending ART at Mukono church of Uganda hospital. A cross sectional study was carried out among 232 people living with HIV between June and July, 2014. Interview with questionnaires and document reviews were used to collect data.
Stool samples were obtained from each patient and processed using formal-ether concentration method, stained by modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining method and parasites were examined by direct microscopy. Univariate and multivariate analysis were carried out. Level of significancewas set at p-value of 0.05. A total of 232 patients participated in the study. The mean age was 36.0 (
