Overview
Patients with microsporidiosis usually appear ill. Physical examination of patients with microsporidiosis is usually remarkable for weight loss, wasting and abdominal tenderness and muscle pain. Eye examination might reveal conjunctival hyperemia and corneal clouding.
Physical examination
General appearance
The patient appears ill with signs of wasting and malnourishment especially if chronic diarrhea is associated.[1][2]
Vital signs
- Fever is rare.
- Heart rate is usually maintained within normal limits.
- Respiratory rate is maintained within normal limits.
- Blood pressure is usually maintained within normal limits.
HEENT
- If ocular microsporidiosis is present, it may manifest as superficial punctate or stromal keratitis:
- Slit lamp examination might reveal:
Chest
- Chest examination findings are usually within normal limits.
Cardiovascular
- Cardiovascular examination findings are usually within normal limits.
Abdomen
- Decreased abdominal girth and weight loss due to chronic diarrhea.
- Right upper quadrant tenderness due to cholecystitis.
Extremities
Muscle tenderness if myositis is present.
