Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if nitazoxanide NTZ can treat Cryptosporidium infection in children age 6-12 months The main questions it aims to answer are
Does NTZ treatment of diarrheal Cryptosporidium infection lower the number of days of diarrhea
Does NTZ treatment of diarrheal and non-diarrheal Cryptosporidium infection lower the number of days that parasites can be found in the stool
Researchers will compare NTZ to a placebo a look-alike substance that contains no drug to see if NTZ works to treat Cryptosporidium
Participants will
Take NTZ or placebo for 3 days
Receive regular visits from field research assistants
Provide blood and urine samples
