Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Cryptosporidiosis typically manifests with symptoms such as watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever. These symptoms can be mild to severe and may persist for several days to weeks.
Dehydration: The severe diarrhea associated with Cryptosporidium parvum infection can lead to dehydration, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Weight Loss and Malnutrition: Prolonged or severe cryptosporidiosis can result in weight loss and malnutrition due to decreased food intake, malabsorption of nutrients, and increased nutrient loss through diarrhea.
Immunocompromised Individuals: In individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, organ transplant recipients, or individuals undergoing chemotherapy, Cryptosporidium parvum infection can cause severe or chronic illness, including disseminated infection and biliary tract disease.
Chronic Infection: Cryptosporidium parvum infections can become chronic or recurrent in immunocompromised individuals, leading to persistent gastrointestinal symptoms and systemic illness. Chronic cryptosporidiosis may require long-term management and monitoring.
Zoonotic Transmission: Cryptosporidium parvum can be transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food or water, contact with infected animals, or exposure to contaminated recreational water sources. Zoonotic transmission from animals to humans is particularly relevant in agricultural settings.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
