Prevalence of parasites in HIV patients with different diarrhoeal status and mean CD4 T-cell counts

Parasites and CD4 T cell counts	Diarrhoeal status of HIV patients			Total	p-value & significance
	Without diarrhoea (n=32)	Acute diarrhoea (n=38)	Chronic diarrhoea (n=30)
Total parasitic infections	4 (12.50%)	13 (34.21%)	16 (53.33%)	33	p<0.05, significant@
Isospora belli	2(6.25%)	7 (18.42%)	12 (40%)	21	p<0.05, significant#
Mean CD4 counts (cells/μl)	320	239	179	–	p<0.05, significant*

@Total parasites: X²=11.717, p=0.02 (< 0.05)

#Isospora belli: X²=10.877, p=0.043 (<0.05)

*Mean CD₄ counts: One way ANOVA, p=0.011 (<0.05)
