ABSTRACT

Blastocystosis is a frequent parasitic infection in our medium. It was the fourth most frequent intestinal parasite found in patients 5 to 18 years of age in Max Peralta Hospital. It presents mainly with gastrointestinal symptoms but also causes cutaneous manifestations. There are multiple pharmacological treatment options; metronidazole VO for 10 days is the treatment of choice and symptomatic relief and parasitic eradication the therapeutic goal.
