    Author: Atambay M, Bayraktar MR, Kayabas U, Yilmaz S, Bayindir Y.
    Journal: Transplant Proc; 2007 Jun; 39(5):1693-5. PubMed ID: 17580223.
    Abstract:
    We describe the first case of isosporiasis in a liver transplant patient. Watery diarrhea due to Isospora belli was observed in a woman who had undergone liver transplantation 8 months prior. She was successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. This parasite should be taken into consideration as an opportunistic infection in transplant patients who need increased hygienic awareness.
