Cryptosporidiosis of the conjunctiva in SIV-infected rhesus monkeys

G B Baskin. J Parasitol. 1996 Aug.

Abstract

Cryptosporidium was found on the conjunctiva of 6 SIV-infected immunodeficient rhesus monkeys. Some affected membranes were inflamed. The conjunctiva is a newly recognized site for disseminated Cryptosporidium infection in spontaneously infected immuno-deficient mammals, and clinicians and investigators should be aware of its possible presence in immunodeficient patients with disseminated cryptosporidiosis.
