PLE-3081

A 35-year-old HIV-positive female presents at the ER with severe diarrhea and dizziness. Her most recent CD4 count was 24 cells/mm3. Due to financial constraints, she was not able to take any medications related to her HIV disease. Her diarrhea began about 10 days ago, and she now has 10 to 15 watery stools per day, abdominal cramping, and nausea. On PE, her temperature is 38.1°C, BP 86/60 mmHg, and minimal diffuse abdominal tenderness with deep palpation. A modified acid-fast stain on a stool sample is presumptively identified as Cryptosporidium species. What is the recommended treatment for her?
