The main symptom in people with a good immune system is self-limiting diarrhea, and there is also a slight increase in body temperature and vomiting. In case of longer untreated it may cause weight loss. The respiratory manifestation is elevated to about 39 degrees C, dyspnea and cough may occur. People with impaired immunity, such as AIDS patients, or immunosuppressed with the infection may be prolonged and life threatening. Cryptosporidiosis was not detected until 1976, although it is one of the most common waterborne diseases in the world. The pigeons are the main infection vector. symptoms

The incubation period is 3-12 days. In addition to watery diarrhea, abdominal ailments and low fever are common. Some people have no symptoms but are infected. Once symptoms have resolved, infectivity persists for several weeks. Treatment

In most people with normal immunity, the disease lasts about 10 days and is self-limiting. Requires water and electrolyte replenishment. Antiretroviral therapy should be optimized for AIDS patients. Bibliography
