Özet

Introduction: Coccidian protozoal infection is one of the most important causes of diarrhea, which could prove to be fatal in immunosuppressed patients. The present study aimed to determine changes in the incidences and prevalence of coccidian protozoa in immunocompromised patients in two different time frames, and thus draw attention toward these neglected microorganisms.
