Abstract
In a prospective study, Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected in seven (3·25%) immunocompetent children with diarrhoea. The predominant clinical features were watery diarrhoea and vomiting. The patients' mean age was 1·9 years and infection was more common in late summer-autumn than in the rest of the year. This first survey on cryptosporidiosis in Israeli children has shown a prevalence similar to that observed in other developed countries.
