Resumen
Thirteen of 120 Venezuelan children with acute diarrhea were found to be
excreting Cryptosporidium oocysts in their stools. This confirms that Cryptosporidiurn can
infect immunocompetent children, and the relatively high frequency found suggests that
this protozoan may be an important cause of diarrhea in Venezuela
