Résumé
Introduction Coccidian protozoa and microsporidian fungi are opportunistic pathogens increasingly implicated in infections in immunosuppressed individuals. These parasites typically infect the intestinal epithelium, resulting in secretory diarrhea and malabsorption. The disease burden and timeline are both greater and longer among immunosuppressed patients. Therapeutic options for immunocompromised individuals are limited. As a result, we wanted to better characterize the disease course and treatment efficacy of these parasitic gastrointestinal infections. Methods We performed a single-center, retrospective MedMined (BD Healthsight Analytics, Birmingham, AL, USA) chart review of patients between January 2012 and June 2022 diagnosed with coccidian or microsporidian infections. Relevant data were collected from Cerner's PowerChart (Oracle Cerner, Austin, TX, USA). Descriptive analysis was performed with IBM SPSS Statistics (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), and Microsoft Excel (Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA) was used to generate graphs and tables. Results In these 10 years, there were 17 patients with
