There were twenty-two cases, all of which presented with chronic diarrhea. Result showed that 50% were infected with protozoa. These include Microsporidium (27.27%), Cryptosporidium (9.09%),Isospora belli (4.54%) and Giardia intestinalis cysts (9.09%). Other infections were Candida sp, Strongyloides stercoralis larva and Opisthorchis viverrini ova. The data stress the importance of opportunistic protozoa in the HIV-infected patients. Awareness of their existence of the diseases is important areas with increasing number of HIV-infected patients for early detection and proper treatment.en_US
