Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in Northwest Ethiopia found a 16.4% prevalence of opportunistic intestinal coccidian parasites (OICPs) among HIV/AIDS patients attending an ART clinic.
- Factors such as drinking surface water, alcohol consumption, diarrhea, medication dropout, and low CD4 counts were significantly associated with higher rates of these infections.
- The findings highlight that OICPs continue to be a major health concern for people living with HIV/AIDS, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality.
