Entry term(s) blastocistosis
infecciones por Blastocystis hominis
Scope note: Infecciones producidas por organismos del género BLASTOCYSTIS. La especie B. hominis causa la mayoría de las infecciones. Las encuestas parasitológicas han encontrado generalmente un pequeño número de estas especies en heces humanas, pero tasas mayores de positividad y mayor número de microorganismos en pacientes con SIDA y en otros pacientes inmunodeprimidos (HUÉSPED INMUNODEPRIMIDO). Los síntomas son DOLOR ABDOMINAL, DIARREA, ESTREÑIMIENTO, VÓMITOS y FATIGA.

Scope note: Infections with organisms of the genus BLASTOCYSTIS. The species B. hominis is responsible for most infections. Parasitologic surveys have generally found small numbers of this species in human stools, but higher positivity rates and organism numbers in AIDS patients and other immunosuppressed patients (IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOST). Symptoms include ABDOMINAL PAIN; DIARRHEA; CONSTIPATION; VOMITING; and FATIGUE.
