First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether adding echinacea (Immulant®) to standard care can reduce symptoms and parasite levels in children aged 5–12 with weakened immune systems who have cryptosporidiosis, a diarrheal infection. About 60 children will take part. The goal is to see if the supplement helps control the infection better than standard treatment alone.
