Current Treatment Options for Giardiasis and Cryptosporidiosis

Abstract:

Treatments for protozoal-induced diarrhea have been expanded in recent decades. The realization that protozoa infections can cause long-term morbidity in children has garnered renewed interest in the latest recommendations. Treatment needs to be tailored to not only the parasite but also the immune status of the patient. The overall clinical status of the patient should be considered when deciding on the use of empiric therapy.
