| description | The <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. is a common enteric parasite found in humans and various animals. <i>Blastocystis</i> spp. infections may be asymptomatic or symptomatic, with gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, or anorexia. The disease leading to symptoms is usually observed in participants with immune deficiency. We report the case of weight loss and diarrhea in a <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. infection in a 64-year-old renal transplant recipient. |
