Overview
Poor sanitary conditions, poor/unsafe water supply, immunocompromised states from HIV infection and exposure to animals have been implicated in the transmission of microsporidia infection.[1][2]
Risk Factors
Risk factors
Immunodeficiency is the most important risk factor for developing microsporidiosis. Microsporidiosis is almost always reported in immunodeficient patients.
- People with an immune deficiency (e.g. as a result of AIDS/HIV)
- Organ transplantation patients
- Patients undergoing chemotherapy
- Patients undergoing radiotherapy
- Hematologic malagninacies
Risk factors among HIV patients
Intestinal microsporidiosis in persons with HIV infection have been linked with:[3]
- male homosexuality
- swimming in pools
- suggesting a fecal-oral transmission, including sexual and waterborne routes.[3]
