  The stomach is not a preferred site for human parasitic infections. Cryptosporidium spp. has been found lining the gastric mucosa, which was virtually free of inflammation.
  Several cases of giardiasis have been reported, virtually all in stomachs with extensive atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.
  Because most patients also have H. pylori infection, it remains unclear whether Giardia intestinalis causes (...)

  15 April 2005

  WKP
  Definition: Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by Cryptosporidium, a genus of protozoan parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa.
  It affects the distal small intestine and can affect the respiratory tract in both immunocompetent (i.e., individuals with a normal functioning immune system) and immunocompromised (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or autoimmune disorders) individuals, resulting in watery diarrhea with or without an unexplained cough.
  In immunocompromised individuals, (...)

• staphylococcal infections
  5 February 2006

  Lesions
  Whether the lesion is located in the skin, lungs, bones, or heart valves, S. aureus causes pyogenic inflammation that is distinctive for its local destructiveness.
  Staphylococcal skin infections
  Excluding impetigo, which is a staphylococcal or streptococcal infection restricted to the superficial epidermis, staphylococcal skin infections are centered around the hair follicles.
  A furuncle, or boil, is a focal suppurative inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, either (...)

  23 February 2006

  Mucosal leishmaniasis of the upper respiratory tract is usually associated with the visceral form or is found in immunosuppressed individuals. Primary mucosal leishmaniasis may occur in both immunosuppresed and immunocompetent patients who travel to or reside in areas endemic for Leishmania.
