Two cases of Isospora belli infection were revealed by stool examinations using the formalin-ether sedimentation technique. One infection was acquired in Puerto Rico and probably the second case reported from that region. The patient was an 18-year-old female with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, since infections of Necator americanus and Trichuris trichiura were also present, the symptomology could not be related to Isospora alone. The second patient, a 56-year-old male, with complaints of nausea and diarrhea, acquired the infection in México, and Isospora belli was the only pathogenic organism isolated.
