Overview

Symptoms of cyclosporiasis begin 7 days following ingestion of water and food contaminated with sporulated oocysts. The most common symptom is watery diarrhea. Other symptoms include loss of appetite, cramping, flatulence, fatigue, low-grade fever, nausea and vomiting.

History

The average incubation period for cyclospora is 1 week, but symptoms may appear from 1 to 14 days after ingestion of sporulated oocysts.
Symptoms typically manifest as watery diarrhea, which can be severe.
Patients might recall eating fresh vegetables, such as lettuce, basil, or cilantro. ^[1]
Patients must be asked if they have traveled to a region where the protozoan is endemic, such as countries in the tropics and subtropics. ^[2]
Untreated infections typically last for 10-12 weeks.
For untreated patients, diarrhea and other symptoms may relapse.
A more severe form of the disease can occur in immunocompromised patients such as those with AIDS.

Symptoms^[3]

Patients with cyclosporiasis may remain asymptomatic, specially in persons that live in an endemic area.
The symptoms for cyclospora infection include:

-If a person ill with cyclosporiasis is not treated, symptoms can persist for several weeks to a month or more. Some symptoms, such as diarrhea, can return, and some symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue, may continue after the gastrointestinal symptoms have gone away. Infection is not usually life-threatening. Reported complications from Cyclospora infection are rare, but have included malabsorption and cholecystitis. Some people with Cyclospora infection experience no symptoms at all, particularly persons living in areas where the disease is endemic.
