Abstract
Disseminated microsporidian infection in patients with AIDS has been r ecently reported and is associated with the genus Encephalitozoon and the newly described genus Septate. We report a case of symptomatic, di sseminated intestinal, urinary, nasal, and ocular microsporidian infec tion in a patient with AIDS. A dramatic response to therapy with alben dazole was observed.
