Description

Cystoisosporiasis is an intestinal infection caused by the parasite Cystoisospora belli, which can be particularly severe in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV. When associated with tuberculosis, it indicates a complex interplay of opportunistic infections that can complicate the clinical management of affected patients.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in the context of patients with multiple co-infections, which can lead to confusion. It's important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms. Common variants that may be encountered include 'cistoisospora' or 'cistoisosporosis', but these should be avoided in formal contexts.
