RESUMEN
From 1992 to 1995 in our Department 2236 researches of intestinal parasites (2194 on stool specimens, 34 on scotch tests, 8 on enterotests) were carried out on 1200 patients (703 HIV-Ab negative and 497 HIV-Ab positive). On the whole 387 samples (17.34%) of 203 subjects (16.92%) were found parasitized; 92 (13.08%) patients of them were HIV-Ab negative and 111 (22.33%) were HIV-Ab positive. We found more frequently Blastocystis hominis and Giardia intestinalis among HIV-Ab negative subjects and Cryptosporidium sp. and Blastocystis hominis among HIV-Ab positive patients. Isospora belli was found exclusively among HIV-Ab positive people, Cryptosporidium sp. in 54 HIV-Ab positive subjects and 3 HIV-Ab negative children. Strongyloides stercoralis was found only in HIV-Ab positive non-European people.
