Abstract

A hospital based, cross sectional study this was carried out at the period between the beginning of June 2020 to the end of September 2021. A total of 600 child Suffering from chronic diarrhea were examined. The co-existence of mixed infection of Cryptosporidium Parvum with others intestinal parasitic protozoan parasites as an etiology of chronic diarrhea was the aim of this study, Cryptosporidium Parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lambilia was found to be the more common parasites as a cause of chronic diarrhea among children under five years, stool samples were collected form children who lived in some places of Mosul city which is divided into two sides as a result of the passage of the Tigris River from the center, a total of 400 (66.6%) positive cases were recorded, the highest infectious rate was found at the Right side of Mosul city 230 (38.3%) cases while the rest 170 (28.3%) cases was recorded in Left side. Direct slide preparation method with a Modified Zeihl Neelsen, cultivation of Protozoal parasites  by using special media and ELISA method for stool samples were used to perform the diagnosis of infection of Cryptosporidium Parvum, Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lambilia that was to be found in 130 (21.6%),150(25%),120(20%), respectively, The co-existence of mixed infection of Cryptosporidium Parvum with Entamoeba histolytica was recorded in 30 (5%)cases while with Giardia lambilia was found in 24(4%)cases these study also recorded the presence of mixed infection between Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lambilia in 12(2%) cases.
