Abstract

This cross-sectional descriptive study was undertaken to know the rate of intestinal PARASITES INFESTATIONs in our school children population. A sum of 1155 fecal samples were analyzed from an equal number of children whose age were between 6-11 years old. The percentage of INFESTATIONs were: Giardia lamblia (14.11%), HYMENOLEPIS NANA (1.21%), ASCARIS LUMBRICOIDES (0.08%) and Enterobius vermiculairs (0.08%). We found no differences with regard to sex, age, father and mother levels of education, family size, body mass index (BMI) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) between the stools positive and the stools negative cases. Nearly all cases of giardiasis (99.4%) were symptomatic. Eosinophilia was seen in (5.5%) of the infested children with giardiasis and in (0.5%) of the non-infested children, the difference was statistically non significant (p=0.056).All cases of giardiasis (n=163) were treated with metronidazole 15 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses for 7 days. Metronidazol was effective in (92.2%) of the treated children.
