Surveillance and Outbreaks Cryptosporidiosis is a nationally notifiable disease. This means that healthcare providers and laboratories that diagnose cases of laboratory-confirmed cryptosporidiosis are required to report those cases to their local or state health departments, which in turn report the cases to CDC.

Figure A: Blastocystis sp. stained with trichrome. The nuclei in the peripheral cytoplasmic rim are visible, staining purple.
Blastocystis sp. is found worldwide. Efforts to characterize the geographic and host distribution of Blastocystis subtypes are ongoing.
However, because of extensive genetic diversity (even among organisms isolated from humans) and low host specificity, the designation Blastocystis sp. is considered more appropriate. If genetic typing is performed, the subtype (ST) also should be noted in accordance with consensus terminology.*.
The life cycle of Blastocystis sp. is not yet understood, including the infectious stage and whether (and which of the) various morphologic forms of this polymorphic organism that have been identified in stool or culture constitute distinct biologic stages of the parasite in the intestinal tract of hosts. The cyst form (3–5 µm) is postulated to be an infectious stage, but not confirmed. The predominant form found in human stool specimens is referred to as the vacuolar (or central body) form and is of variable size (5–40 µm, occasionally much larger). Replication appears to occur via binary fission. Other morphologic forms (e.g., ameboid and granular forms) also have been noted in stool samples and/or culture; their biological role and eventual developmental fate require further investigation.
Parasites commonly identified in the stool of AIDS patients include Cryptosporidium, Isospora, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia lamblia.
Because parasite morphology will not be preserved, specimens sent on diaper or tissue paper are not acceptable to the laboratory because of risk to lab personnel. Grossly leaking specimens may not be processed. Specimen containing interfering substances (eg, castor oil, bismuth, Metamucil®, barium specimens delayed in transit and those contaminated with urine) will not have optimal yield; unlabeled specimen or name discrepancy between specimen and test request label; expired transport device; specimen not received in O & P preservative transport containers with formalin and PVA.
Amebas and certain other parasites cannot be seen in stools contain ing barium. Amebic cysts, Giardia cysts, and helminth eggs are often recovered from formed stools. Mushy or liquid stools (either normally passed or obtained by purgation) often yield trophozoites. Purgation does not enhance the yield of Giardia.
One negative result does not rule out the possibility of parasitic infestation. Stool examination for Giardia may be negative in early stages of infection, in patients who shed organisms cyclically, and in chronic infections. 1 The sensitivity of microscopic methods for the detection of Giardia range from 46% to 95%. 2 Tests for Giardia antigen may have a higher yield. 3
