Blastocystis Hominis Infection Health Center

Blastocystis hominis (B.hominis) is a microscopic parasite sometimes found in the stools of healthy people, as well as in the stools of people who have diarrhea, abdominal pain or other gastrointestinal problems. The infection with B.hominis is called blastocystosis. The researchers still do not fully understand the role which B.hominis plays in causing an infection. Some subtypes of this parasite may be more likely to cause infection, or might pose a risk only when combined with other types of infection. In some cases the parasite simply resides in the digestive tract without causing harm.
