In situations where multiple reports of symptomatic patients are confirmed, contacts with these infected patients should be tested, particularly during a potential outbreak. An example of this type of situation would be outbreaks of diarrhea in the nursery school setting. When Cryptosporidium is identified as the causative agent, all nursery school attendees, employees of the school, and family members are often tested for infection. Another example might involve a group of individuals who experience the same symptoms at similar times after attending a function where food was served; the causative agent might be confirmed as Cyclospora cayetanensis.
