his is a unicellular organism that causes diarrhoea. Transmission is faeco-oral. It is sometimes quite difficult to detect in the stools. It is sensitive to trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (Bactrim®, Eusaprim®). If this cannot be used, pyrimethamine (Daraprim®) can be used. The combination ornidazole-albendazole can be used as third choice.
