Universitas: ciências da saúde, Brasília, DF, v. 4, n. 1/2, p. 9-15, 2006.1678-5398e- 1981-9730http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/17864The intestinal infections caused by Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora sp., Isospora belli and species of intestinal Microsporidia are frequent in immunocompromised patients, but they can also attack in immunocompetent individuals, causing similar enteric clinical pictures. The differential laboratorial diagnosis of these etiological agents is essential in the choice of the therapeutic handling and in the prognostic of the infection. Aiming this fact, we tried to determine the existence of the laboratorial diagnosis of these emerging agents in the private laboratories net in covenant to Health Unique System – SUS, Goiânia – GO. Among the most expressive findings it was verified that only five (19%) accomplish diagnosis for intestinal Coccidian and that none accomplishes identification of spores of Microsporidia. This fact configures the complete indifference or lack of knowledge in the laboratorial diagnosis of these emerging intestinal agents in the private laboratories net in covenant to Health Unique System – SUS in Goiânia – GO.porAcesso AbertoDiagnóstico laboratorialSUSParasitos oportunistasLaboratorial diagnosisOpportunistic parasitesSUSArtigo10.5102/UCS.V4I1.19
