✦ Synopsis

Blastocystis hominis is an emergent human parasite causing intestinal disease with potentially disabling symptoms (diarrhoea, nausea, flatulence, tenesmus, itching, abdominal pain) . Blastocystis hominis is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries, but sporadic cases are also reported in Europe and in the United States in immunocompetent patients (1,. Case reports of blastocystosis in HIV infection are rare , but perhaps because Blastocystis hominis is not well-known, it is not being looked for thoroughly.

Recently we have observed two cases of blastocystosis in patients with HIV infection that confirm the pathogenic potential of Blastocystis hominis and its possible role in the diarrhoea observed in AIDS and AIDS-related conditions.
