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.
