Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of microsporidiosis include HAART, avoiding contact with poultry and avoiding swimming pools.
Primary prevention
In immunocompromised patients, HAART and maintaining CD4+ count above 100 cells/mcL, is the most effective primary preventive measure to prevent the development of the disease. In an Australian study, mortality due to microsporidiosis decreased in patients receiving HAART.[1]
Other preventive measures include:
- Avoid contact with poultry.[2]
- Avoid swimming pools.
