Abstract
A spherical acid-fast organism measuring similar to 10 mu m in diamete r (Cyclospora sp.) has recently been implicated in diarrheal diseases in many parts of the world. We detected this organism in the stools of six Bangladeshi patients with diarrhea. Four patients had chronic dia rrhea and two had acute diarrhea at the time of presentation. This is the first report of infection with this organism in the indigenous pop ulation from this region.
