Abstract

STRONGYLOIDES STERCORALIS is a human intestinal Nematode parasite which can cause different clinical signs and symptoms in infected patients. Institutions where men live in groups with low level of hygiene is a suitable environment for preservation and transmission of the parasite. Therefore, in this study PREVALENCE of Strongyloides sterocoralis in a MENTAL RETARDED institution of Tehran was surveyed. In this descriptive study most of the residents of Rofeideh MENTAL RETARDED center were investigated. Stool examination using Formalin Ether method was performed for 367 out of 241 individuals, while the reminder (54) were excluded because they either used medicine or they did not co-operate in collection of fecal samples. Worm burden was estimated by stoll method. This research demonstrated that from 367 MENTAL RETARDED patients of Rofeideh institution 114(31.06%) were infected with STRONGYLOIDES STERCORALIS. Moreover 52.5% of infected people were male and 47.5% were female. The highest infection rate was found among 4-6 years old children. Quantitative analysis of the fecal samples revealed that in 34.2% of cases the number of larvae was higher than 4000 per one grams of stool. Based on the high PREVALENCE of STRONGYLOIDES STERCORALIS infection among MENTAL RETARDED individuals of Rofeideh institution, it is suggested that this infection should not be neglected in such institutions.
