[incidence of intestinal parasites in pediatric patients with hematologic neoplasms from 1 to 15 years of age].

INTRODUCTION: Reference is made to the most frequent intestinal parasites in the hematologic patients and the association with malnutrition. MATERIAL AND METHOD: In the Unit of Pediatrics of Hospital General de Mexico, it was studied in prospective, observational and descriptive form to a group of 85 patient hematoncologic, coming from the external consultation, with or without parasitic symptoms. The patients were assisted between June and December of 1994. To all they were carried out studies coproparasitoscopic in series of three, for the method of Faust. RESULTS: A total of 85 children was studied from 1 to 15 years of age; 59 were parasitaded (69.5%) and 26 (30.5%) free of parasites. CONCLUSIONS: The most frequent affections in the patients pediatric hematoncologic were: leukemia, tumors of the central nervous system and lymphomas. The most frequent parasites were: Giardia lamblia, 28.7%, Entamoeba histolytica 26%, Ascaris lumbricoides 12.3%. Of the 59 patients with some parasite, 54 (91.4%) they studied with some degree of malnutrition.

[Children day care center: exposition or protection environment to intestinal parasites infestation in Aracaju, SE].

The work aimed to evaluate whether child daycare centers are an environment that protects against or exposes children to intestinal parasite infestation. Stool samples were analyzed from children attending such centers and a control group. It was concluded that attending daycare centers is related to intestinal parasitosis (630% vs. 41.4 %; p <0.01) and the risk of infestation is 1.5 times higher.

Intestinal parasitic infestation among parturients in Trinidad and Tobago.

1. In this limited survey, 42.5% of parturients were found to be infested with intestinal parasites. 2. Hookworm, Trichuris and Entamoeba infestations were the most common. 3. Race, social class and locality influenced in the incidence of the different types of infestations. 4. Those infested with hookworm had longer labor, smaller babies and higher incidence of prematurity.

A preliminary study of the prevalence of intestinal parasites in immunocompromised patients with and without gastrointestinal manifestations.

The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of the intestinal parasites most commonly found in immunocompromised patients. A group of 111 individuals with acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other immunocompromised conditions (principally haematological disorders) was selected. A battery of tests was performed on each individual to identify the presence of parasites (three stool specimens with saline solution and Lugol both directly and by concentration, culture and special staining). No significant differences were found among the frequencies of the different parasites with the several types of immunocompromised conditions. The overall frequencies of potentially pathogenic and opportunistic parasites were 32.4% (36/111) and 9% (10/111) respectively, the most frequently encountered among the latter being Cryptosporidium sp., Microsporidia spp. and Strongyloides stercoralis.

Intestinal parasitism in an outdoor breeding colony of Macaca mulatta.

A portion of a large outdoor breeding colony of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) was surveyed for intestinal parasites. The results of this examination were compared to data obtained at the time of arrival for this same group of animals. In addition, a small number of infants born in the colony were examined. Although most species of parasites detected during quarantine were retained in the breeding colony, the parasite population changed. The number of helminthic infections doubled while protozoan infections decreased by 20%. Trichuris (47%), Strongyloides (34%), Entamoeba (59%), Endolimax (20%), and Iodamoeba (20%) were the most common parasites detected in the outdoor breeding colony.

Intestinal parasite infections in the inhabitants along the Hantan River, Chorwon-gun.

The prevalence of intestinal parasite infections in inhabitants at the reaches of the Hantan River, Chorwon-gun, Korea, was observed from August 12 to September 14, 1993. Of 465 people observed by cellophane thick smear and formalin-ether concentration method, 2 Ascaris lumbricoides (unfertilized), 1 Trichuris trichiura, 39 Clonorchis sinensis and 16 Metagonimus egg positive cases were found. After treatment, the Metagonimus egg positive cases passed out flukes of Metagonimus Miyata type. Of 68 fish caught in the Hantan River, 14 (20.6%) were infected with metacercariae of Metagonimus, while no metacercaria of C. sinensis was found. At this area, soil-transmitted nematodes are very low, but clonorchiasis and metagonimiasis are prevalent by modernate endemicity.

[Intestinal parasites and ectoparasites in the V region, Chile: study in the Psychiatric Hospital of Putaendo].

A prospective study was carried out in 229 chronic patients (of both sexes) from the Psychiatric Hospital of Putaendo, in order to find out the frequency of intestinal parasites and/or commensals in the period 1987-1989. One hundred and ninety four (84.7%) out of the 229 studied patients were infected by parasites and/or commensals. The high prevalence of commensals Entamoeba coli (55.0%) and Endolimax nana (50.5%) became more evident. Among the parasites, the most frequent was Trichuris trichiura (41.5%). The presence of Pediculus humanus capitis and lesions suggestive of those produced by Sarcoptes scabiei were detected in 7.2 and 0.6 of the examined patients. The results obtained show the high frequency of intestinal infections by parasites and commensals in the patients of the studied hospital.

[The prevalence of intestinal parasites in the students of two primary schools in Ankara].

Four hundred stool samples obtained from two different primary school students were examined for intestinal parasite. Cellophane tape technique was also applied in order to detect the Enterobiasis incidence. It has been observed that the parasite incidence were 13.5% in TED College Students whereas 30.5% in the Incesu Primary School. It has been also concluded that the highest infection rate was connected with two parasites, namely Giardia intestinalis (11.5%) and Enterobius vermicularis (8%).

Prevalence and intensity of infection with intestinal parasites in areas of the Futa Djalon, Republic of Guinea.

A descriptive study on the prevalence and intensity of infection with intestinal parasites was performed in three selected areas of the Futa Djalon highlands during the rainy season of 1989. Randomly selected households were visited in Daka (an important urban sector of Labé), in the town of Timbi Madina and in a rural village, Sombili. Prevalence of intestinal protozoa was 58.5% in Daka, 63.3% in Timbi Madina and 76.5% in Sombili, while infection rates for helminths were 10.4%, 24.7% and 47.7% respectively. The data point to a higher level of oro-fecal transmission in the rural village compared to the urban environments. Most of the protozoan parasites detected were non-pathogenic, while hookworms were the most prevalent heliminths and in about one third of the cases multiple infections were found. Analysis of questionnaire data failed to show significant associations between selected socio-behavioural factors and parasitic infections.

The intestinal parasitic infections among children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

A total of 5421 children, 2726 apparently healthy and 2695 with clinical manifestations suggestive parasitic infection were subjected to stool examinations. Giardia lamblia was found to be the most common intestinal parasitic infection among both groups. Enterobius vermicularis followed among the patient group. Abdominal pain and pruritus ani were the most common causes of referral in the patient group. Other causes of referral were mainly associated with G. lamblia infection.
