    Abstract:
    Cryptosporidium and Microsporidian play an important part in the diarrhoeic pathology of the immunocompromised patients. The study of 35 cases of cryptosporidiosis and 4 cases of intestinal microsporidiosis diagnosed in the parasitology laboratory of Rabta hospital of Tunis shows that cryptosporidiosis prevalence is 17.24% for AIDS patients, 3.45% for immunocompromised patients VIH (-), and microsporidiosis prevalence is 5.7% for patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Common points for these two parasitosis are: Clinical syndromes dominated by an acute diarrhea A diagnosis based on specific techniques showing the significance of the clinical orientation.
