FU22 Candida Glabrata / Torulopsis Glabrata fungus similar vaginal symptoms to candida albicans appears to be on the increase
FU23 Candida Krusei fungus a form of candida particularly present in men, and those who have a compromised immune system, such as in HIV appears to be on the increase
FU24 Chlamydia Pneumoniae chlamydia pneumonia, bronchitis pharyngitis, laryngitis, and sinusitis by age 20 years, 50% of population have evidence of past infection. Re-infection throughout life appears to be common.Studies have shown that people infected by this chlamydia are 4.5 times more likely to have a stroke than matched controls who show no sign of having encountered it. Links have also been proposed with Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, and some forms of arthritis
FU25 Cryptosporidium protozoa diarrhoea, (usually watery), abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and loss of appetite; some people are asymptomatic serological surveys indicate that 80% of the US population has had cryptosporidiosis
