Diagnosis of Cryptosporidiosis in Renal Transplantation in a Low-Prevalence Setting.
American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene 2018 November 20
Cryptosporidiosis is commonly described as a cause of gastroenteritis syndrome in the organ transplant population, mainly in high-prevalence settings, with stool microscopy as the predominant diagnostic modality. Therapeutic options in this group of patients are limited, making their management exceptionally challenging. We describe a case of a renal transplant recipient with cryptosporidiosis confirmed by the stool FilmArray gastrointestinal panel (GIP) nucleic acid-based assay and stool microscopy, describe our institutional experience in diagnosing cryptosporidiosis in a low-prevalence setting, and review the available literature on management of this condition in the organ transplant population. In a low-prevalence setting, the GIP can serve as a rapid screening tool in the diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis.
