Parasitologic investigations of large patient populations are rarely conducted in the United States, where the illusion of freedom from parasitic infections still predominates. Such investigations are considerably more common in third-world countries where endemic parasitoses are more readily documented.1 In an attempt to address this problem, we reported the results of routine examination of fecal specimens for parasites from 644 patients in the United States during the summer of 1996. ...
Prevalence. Nine hundred sixteen (32%) of 2,896 tested patients were infected with 18 species of intestinal parasites in the year 2000 (Table 1) in 48 states and the District of Columbia as follows ... Blastocystis hominis was the most frequently detected parasite in single and multiple infections, with Cryptosporidium parvum and Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar ranking second and third, respectively.
What are the symptoms of infection with Blastocystis?
Watery or loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anal itching, weight loss, constipation, and excess gas have all been reported in persons with Blastocystis infection. Many people have no symptoms at all. The organism can be found in both well and sick persons.

Blastocystis is now by far the most prevalent mono-infection in symptomatic patients in the United States and was found 28.5 times more often than Giardia lamblia as a mono-infection in symptomatic patients in a 2000 study.Figure 4: Prevalence of IBS and Blastocystosis by country
Blastocystis is one of the most common intestinal protists of humans. ... A recent study showed that 100% of people from low socio-economic villages in Senegal were infected with Blastocystis sp. suggesting that transmission was increased due to poor hygiene sanitation, close contact with domestic animals and livestock, and water supply directly from well and river.Table 2: Summary of treatments and efficacy for Blastocystis infection Archived 2022-11-11 at the Wayback Machine
