The present study aimed to investigate the presence and prevalence of Cryptosporidium amongimmunocompromised patients in Wasit Hospitals and health centers to determine the best method for itsdiagnosis. The study started from the 1st of August to the end of November 2020. One hundred forty stoolsamples were collected from immunocompromised patients from both genders who attended the hospitaland health centers at Wasit province. Stool samples were inspected by modified acid-fast stain as a standardmethod, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Molecular Nested PCR method. Modified Ziehl-Neelsen technique revealed 46 (33%) positive cases for Cryptosporidium oocysts, of 85 males and 55 females,highly significant relationship was found between the genders and between different age groups of infectionwith a highly significant difference between rural and urban area. The prevalence of Cryptosporidium was57.14% using nested PCR and 38.46% for ELISA in comparison with MZN method. It is concluded thatcryptosporidiosis found to be endemic in Wasit Province for the first time and the nested PCR was the mostreliable technique for its diagnosis.

Cutaneous leishmaniosis in Iraq has 2 forms, zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL), which is mainlycaused by Leishmania major, and anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL), which is mainly causedby Leishmania tropica . Twenty skin samples were taken from suspected patients with CL and checked forLeishmania amastigote, during the period from October 2019 to February 2020 in Al-Karamah teachinghospital of Kut city, Iraq. The highest infection 100% using Giemsa- smeared and 75% using Nested PCRmethods. Totally 20 patients aged from (1- <40) years old were included in current study.The prevalenceof CL were in males 9(45) and 11(55) in females and high prevalence in age groups (>20) years old. Thecurrent study 12(60%) were brought on Leishmania major and 4(20%) Leishmania tropica using NestedPCR method . In present study the direct smear could be considered a good test for testing the cutaneousLeishmaniasis but Nested PCR assay was more touchy than parasitological technique in diagnosis ofLeishmania species in skin lesions. L.major is the main species responsible of cutaneous leishmaniasis inareas of Wasit Province.
