Horse-Specific Cryptosporidium Genotype in Human with Crohn's Disease and Arthritis.

We identified an unusual subtype of a Cryptosporidium sp. horse genotype as the cause of cryptosporidiosis in a 13-year-old girl in Poland who was undergoing immunosuppressive treatment for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. The same subtype was identified in a horse the girl had ridden.

Infects Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Undergoing Immunosuppressive Treatment.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are susceptible to intestinal opportunistic infections due to both defective mucosal immunity and altered immune response resulting from immunosuppressive treatment. Microsporidia infecting the gastrointestinal tract and causing diarrhoea can potentially affect the course of IBD. Stool samples (90 IBD children and 121 healthy age-matched controls) were screened for spp.
