Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of microsporidiosis is immunodeficiency. Other risk factors among immunodeficient patients include poor sanitation and contact with poultry droppings.[1][2]
Risk factors
Immunodeficiency is the most important risk factor for developing microsporidiosis. Microsporidiosis is almost always reported in immunodeficient patients:[1][2]
- People with an immune deficiency (e.g. as a result of AIDS/HIV)
- Organ transplantation patients
- Patients undergoing chemotherapy
- Patients undergoing radiotherapy
- Hematologic malignancies
Risk factors among HIV patients
Intestinal microsporidiosis in persons with HIV infection have been linked with:[3]
- Severe immunodeficiency with CD4+ count <100
- Male homosexuality
- Swimming in pools
- Poor sanitation
- Contact with poultry droppings
