Abstract
Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic protozoan disease in which diarrhea is the main clinical manifestation. Cryptosporidium spp. is an important opportunistic pathogenic protozoan. Inadequate clinical knowledge of the disease can easily lead to underdiagnosis. This study reports the case of a patient with recurrent pancreatitis and primary Sjögren's syndrome who was found to be infected with Cryptosporidium spp. After appropriate treatment, the patient's symptoms improved. Clinicians should be aware of the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis and screen for it because it is easily overlooked.
