TL;DR: Routine screening for intestinal parasites in HIV-positive patients is advocated and pathogenic intestinal parasites such as A. lumbricoides, hookworm, Giardia intestinalis, Entamoeba histolytica, Trichuris trichiura, and Taenia species among HIV-infected persons should not be neglected.

TL;DR: Six known genotypes of E. bieneusi, including D, A, IV, CAF2, EbpA, and Peru 8 in 31, 22, 14, 2, 1, and 1 patients, respectively, five novel genotypes, and one infection with mixed genotypes were observed in this study.

TL;DR: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons are commonly infected with Cryptosporidium species and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in both developed and developing countries and HIV-infected patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) were enrolled in this study.

TL;DR: This study aimed to characterize the transmission of cryptosporidiosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and detected Cryptosporidium species in stool specimens using a small subunit rRNA-based polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique.

TL;DR: The prevalence of anaemia in HIV-infected patients is high low CD4 count is a significant risk factor of acquiring anaemia and routine screening for intestinal parasites and holistic management of anaemic patients is advocated.
