A cross-sectional molecular epidemiological study of Entamoebaspecies was conducted among asymptomatic Kenyan children with (n = 123) and without (n = 111) HIV infection. The prevalence of E. histolyticawas low (0.4%). Entamoebaspecies infection was inversely related with HIV infection [HIV(+): 29.3% vs. HIV(−): 55.0%, P < 0.001]: multiple-species infection was related to higher CD4+T-cell counts. Thus, HIV infection is not a risk factor for amebic infection, and multiple-species infection can be an indicator of better immune status. |
