Cryptosporidium baileyi Pulmonary Infection in Immunocompetent Woman with Benign Neoplasm.

ABSTRACT: Cryptosporidium baileyi, a bird-specific parasite, infects gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and urinary tracts of its host. We report on a C. baileyi infection associated with pulmonary hamartoma in an immunocompetent patient in Poland. Further work is needed to investigate the association between Cryptosporidium infections and tumors.
