Lactobin-R is a commercial hyperimmune bovine colostrum with potent
anticryptosporidial activity. It was administered to a 4 year old
child with AIDS and severe diarrhoea associated with cryptosporidiosis.
There was significant clinical improvement in the diarrhoea and permanent
elimination of the parasite from the gut as assessed through serial
jejunal biopsy and stool specimens.
