Overview

Systematic review estimates 4.7% prevalence of Cryptosporidium infections in Thailand, highlighting its link with diarrhea in HIV-infected individuals.

Key Points

  • The pooled prevalence of cryptosporidium infections in Thailand is 4.7%, notably higher in northern regions and among HIV-infected individuals.
  • Among 38 studies with 24,759 participants, the highest prevalence was 11.14% in northern Thailand and 16.33% in HIV-positive individuals.
  • This systematic review used random-effects meta-analyses to estimate prevalence and explore infection-related factors.
  • Findings support public health efforts emphasizing screening and intervention strategies for high-risk populations.
