Cryptosporidum sp. and lsospora belli were observed in 1% of patients. It is important to emphasize the low frequency of opportunistic parasites in this study. The highest prevelence corresponded to Endolimax-nana (15.1 %) and Entamoeba coli  (13.2%). The frequency of nematodes is very low: unicinaria and Strongyloides stercoralis were presentn 1%.
