The paper comparatively analyzes the efficiency of two methods for the diagnosis ofcryptosporidiosis: microscopy of Ziehl-Neelsen- or Romanovsky-Gimse-stained smears and immunofluorescence labeling using the diagnostic reagent kit Crypt-a-Glo A400 BIOT (Cryptosporidium oocysts) (Stailab Co.) in fecal samples. The efficiency of the reagent kit Crypt-a-Glo A400 BIOT has been shown to be sufficiently high in diagnosing cryptosporidiosis. The authors propose to use the immunofluorescence labeling [a diagnostic reagent kit Crypt-a-Glo A400 BIOT (Cryptosporidium oocysts)] to increase the detection rate of persons suspected as having cryptosporidiosis who are invaded during comprehensive examination.
