AB Although microsporidia (MS) are important opportunistic pathogens in
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients, the in vitro
characteristics and seroprevalence of many human species are poorly
understood. Light microscopy and electron microscopy confirmed the
presence of Encephalitozoon sp spores from a nasopharyngeal aspirate
(NPA), urine and faeces from an AIDS patient. MS from NPA inoculated
into Human Embryonic Lung cells and macrophages were found to replicate
successfully. Seroprevalence studies indicated a high incidence of
antibody to the parasite in both Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
positive and HIV negative groups.
