AI Article Synopsis

  • Recent claims suggested that cystoisospora organisms were found in the gallbladder mucosa of healthy patients, but this was later disproven through advanced molecular and ultrastructural research.
  • The text provides a summary of the events surrounding the initial false epidemic of pseudo-Cystoisospora, outlining how it started and concluded.
  • It emphasizes the significant role of additional diagnostic techniques in confirming the identification of pathogens alongside traditional morphological methods.

Article Abstract

Multiple groups have recently reported involvement of the gallbladder mucosa of immunocompetent patients by cystoisospora organisms. However, this has recently been disproved with the support of molecular and ultrastructural studies. Here we present a summary of these events, recounting how this pseudo-Cystoisospora epidemic began and ended. This review also highlights the important role played by ancillary techniques in supplementing the morphologic diagnosis of pathogens.
