Abstrakt		Background. Cryptosporidiosis is a disease caused by the protozoan Cryptosporidium parvum. It was recognised as a cause of diarrheal illness in humans and animals. The disease is often self-limiting but it can be life-threatening in immunopromised persons. Asymptomatic carriers are known, too. Cryptosporidiosis is spread by drinking contaminated water or eating food contaminated with Cryptosporidium oocysts, direct contact with the dropping of infected animals or stool of infected humans, or hand-to-mouth transfer of oocysts from contaminated surfaces. Conclusions. Cryptosporidiosis is recently recongised in Slovenia, too and underwent to epidemiological recording.
Izvleček		Izhodišča. Kriptosporidioza je bolezen, ki jo povzroča tako pri živalih kot tudi pri ljudeh protozoon Cryptosporidium parvum. Bolezen poteka v obliki diarej. Bolezenski znaki običajno sami po sebi prenehajo, osebo z imunsko pomanjkljivostjo pa lahko ta okužba življenjsko ogroža. Spoznali so tudi klicenosce brez bolezenskih znakov. Kriptosporidioza se prenaša z vodo ali živili, ki so kontaminirana z oocistami parazita Cryptosporidium. Prenos je posreden in neposreden, fekalno-oralen. Zaključki. Kriptosporidiozo smo pred kratkim spoznali tudi v Sloveniji. Okužbo smo začeli tudi epidemiološko spremljati in nadzorovati.
