Encephalitozoon hellem

Wikipedia Abstract

Microsporidiosis is an opportunistic intestinal infection that causes diarrhea and wasting in immunocompromised individuals (HIV, for example). It results from different species of microsporidia, a group of microbial (unicellular) fungi. In HIV infected individuals, microsporidiosis generally occurs when CD4+ T cell counts fall below 150.
