Abstrakt		Background. Cyclospora cayetanensi is 8-10 microm in diameter coccidian parasite that causes diarrhea. The organism has previously referred to as cyanobacterium and coccidianlike body (CLB). The organisms thought to be a new human pathogen, have been identified in the feces from both immunocompetent subject-mainly those travelling abroad - and immunocompromised patients with diarrhea. Methods and Results. Fecal examinations of three students with explosive diarrhea returned to Slovenia from Indonesia reveled Cyclospora oocysts. No other bacterial, viral or parasitic pathogens were found. Cyclospora oocysts have been variably in acid fast staining, showed an intense green or blue autofluroscence under UV microscopy. In direct wet mounts have been as nonrefractive spheres containing a cluster of granular inclusions which were highly refractile and had greenish tinge. Conclusions. In the future the laboratory and clinical staff in Slovenia will have to pay more attention to the presence of Cyclospora cayetanensis in the stool of patients with diarrhea who harbour no other enteropathogens as it implicates this parasite as a possible aetiological agent.
Izvleček		Izhodišča. Cyclospora cayetanensis je 8-10 mikrom velik kokcidijski parazit, ki povzroča diarejo. Prvotno so ga imenovali "telesce", ki je podobno kokcidijem oziroma modro zeleni algi (CLB). Mikroorganizem, za katerega sedaj menijo, da je patogen, so našli pri zdravih ljudeh, ljudeh ki potujejo v tropske kraje in pri ljudeh z oslabelo imunostjo. Metode in rezultati. S preiskavo fecesa treh študentov z diarejo, ki so se vrnili iz Indonezije, smo našli oociste parazita Cyclospora. Bakterij, virusov ali drugih patogenih parazitov nismo našli. Z različnimi barvanji preparatov se oociste obarvajo različno intenzivno. V UV mikroskopu kažejo oociste parazita rumeno zeleno ali modro autofluorescenco, v negativnih preparatih pa je v oocistah viden skupek zrnc z zelenkastim odtenkom. Zaključki. V prihodnje bomo parazitu Cyclospora cayetanensis oziroma ciklosporiozi tudi v Sloveniji posvetili več pozornoti, predvsem pri tistih bolnikih z diarejo, pri katerih bomo izolirali samo te povzročitelje bolezni.
