ABSTRACT

The microsporidiosis is an emergent and opportunist infection produced by spore-forming intracellular microorganisms, recently reclassified by taxonomists as fungi. The efficacy and safety of different pharmaceutical products has been evaluated along the years, however, the therapeutic arsenal is limited when treating infected people. The necessary update on this theme, and the necessity of a consultation document for pre and post graduate students determined the accomplishing of this review, pretending to offer the updated, pertinent and qualitative information that may allows a better medical care to the users of the health sector and maintaining the continued educational process of the professionals at all the public health care levels.
