The prevalence of intestinal parasites was studied through fecal examination in 279 HIV reactive patients. These subjects were reactive to the indirect immunofluorescence, to western blotting and to ELISA techniques. This group of patients were registered at the Hospital Evandro Chagas of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz in Rio de Janeiro and were assisted in the period from 1987 to 1990. Males constituted 85,5% of the patients and 80,1% were in the age group from 20 to 49 years old; the most probable mechanism of infection was the sexual route in 82,4% of the cases. No significant differences were observed in the prevalences of parasitism as revealed by the spontaneous sedimentation technique of the first sample collected among patients classified in the clinical stages II, III and IV, according to the Center of Diseases Control, 1986 (II: no symptoms, III: generalized lymphadenomegaly for more than 3 months; IV: acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). In 59,8% of the subjects examined through at least one and up to four different methods of fecal examination one or more intestinal parasites were found. The staining of the fecal sediments with the saphranin techniqe indicated that 20,7% of group IV patients and 0,6% of groups II and III patients harboured intestinal coccidia. One case of hyperinfection with Vampyrolepsis nana was observed and no cases of disseminated strongyloidiases were found among 121 AIDS patients.
