Abstract

Cryptosporidiosis was observed in 23 undernourished infants of a nutritional center in Temuco. This represents a 34% incidence rate for the period (march to may 1990). Liquid stools (91%), vomiting (39%), resistance to feeding (74%), respiratory symptoms (61%) and weight loss (mean 25 g per day) were the main clinical manifestations. Only 9 patients received specific therapy and all showed clinical improvement and normalization of stool examinations within the study period.
