Enterocytozoon bieneusi Infection after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant in Child, Argentina

We report a case of Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in a pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient in Argentina. Spores were visualized in feces using Calcofluor White and modified trichrome stainings. PCR and sequencing identified E. bieneusi genotype D in fecal samples and liver samples, confirming extraintestinal dissemination of the parasite.PMID:38407164 | DOI:10.3201/eid3003.231580
