Abstract:- Cryptosporidiosis is an emerging threat in AIDS and other immune suppressed patients. When seen in histopathology sections of endoscopic biopsy specimen should raise a suspicion of underlying immune suppression, especially when stool examination is negative or not obtained at first. We report two cases of intestinal cryptosporidiosis diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy, one of whom was later found to be seropositive for HIV and the other was an operated case of cervical cancer.
Key Words:- Cryptosporidiosis, AIDS, endoscopic biopsy.
