Popis: Key Clinical Message Protozoans are endemic in the Middle East and diarrhea workup post stem cell transplant should always include stool examination for ova and parasites. Abstract We present a case of Blastocystis sp. infection in a multiple myeloma patient who developed diarrhea on day five of post‐autologous stem cell transplantation. Diarrhea is a major complication and a potential cause of mortality in this population. Testing for endemic protozoan is recommended.
