Abstract

 Background: The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection among mentally retarded individuals and the staff of the center in Bandar Abbas, south of Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in central institution for mentally retarded in Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, from 2016 to 2017. A triple fecal specimen was collected from each one of the 163 participants and were evaluated using wet mount and formalin-ethyl acetate methods. Trichrome and Ziehl-Neelsen staining were used to confirm suspected cases of protozoa. As well as Baermann and Harada-Mori techniques and agar plate culture were implemented to diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis. Results: Overall, 163 subjects were examined including 126 mentally retarded individuals and 37 personnel. Ninety (55. 2%) cases of participants were infected with at least one of the Intestinal parasites, 69 (54. 7%) of mentally retarded and 21 (56. 7%) of personnel. Twenty-six mentally retarded individuals were infected with S. stercoralis (20. 6%), Blastocystis hominis 30. 2%, Entamoeba coli 25. 4%, Giardia lamblia 5. 6%, Enterobius vermicularis 1. 6%, Hymenolepis nana 0. 8% and Iodamoeba butschlii 1. 6%. Twelve staff (32. 4%) harbored B. hominis, E. coli 27%, S. stercoralis 2. 7%, G. lamblia 10. 8%, H. nana 2. 7% and Endolimax nana 2. 7%. Conclusion: High rate of Intestinal parasites particularly, S. stercoralis compared to the most recent studies of general population.
