Enteroparásitos en estudiantes de la Escuela Nacional Leoncio Quintana, municipio Maracaibo, Venezuela

Para determinar la prevalencia de parasitosis intestinales en escolares de la Escuela Nacional Leoncio Quintana del municipio Maracaibo, Venezuela, se analizaron 69 muestras fecales de ambos sexos, con edades comprendidas entre 6 y 12 años de edad. A cada espécimen fecal se le realizó examen coproparasitológico directo con disolución salina fisiológica al 0,85 %, coloración temporal de lugol y método de concentración de Ritchie. Se observó una prevalencia general de escolares parasitados de un 59,4 % encontrándose predominio del monoparasitismo en un 58,5 %. En cuanto al grupo de edades el estrato de 11 años presentó 8 casos (40,94 %) de parasitados. La prueba Chi-cuadrado resultó significativa para las variables parasitismo y edad. Sin embargo, al relacionar las variables parasitismo y sexo no hubo dependencia. Las principales especies de protozoarios y helmintos encontradas fueron: Entamoeba coli 24,39 %, Endolimax nana 21,95 %, Trichuris trichiura 21,95 %, Ascaris lumbricoides 7,31 % y la especie más prevalente resultó el chromista Blastocystis sp. con 75,61 %. La alta prevalencia de parasitosis intestinales sugiere un patrón de transmisión directa entre la población estudiada o a través del consumo de agua o alimentos contaminados fecalmente. Se plantea la necesidad de evaluar el comportamiento en la higiene alimentaria y abastecimiento de agua. Palabras clave: Prevalencia, parasitosis, escolares, monoparasitismo, Blastocystis sp. Abstract To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis in school children of the Leoncio Quintana National School in municipality of Maracaibo, Venezuela, 69 fecal samples of both sexes were analyzed, with ages ranging from 6 to 12 years of age. Each fecal specimen was subjected to direct coproparasitological examination with 0.85 % physiological saline solution, temporary coloration of lugol and Ritchie concentration method. A general prevalence of parasitized school children was observed of 59.4%, with monoparasitism predominating in 58.5 %. Regarding the age group, the stratum of 11 years presented 8 cases (40.94 %) of parasitized. The Chi-square was significant for the variables parasitism and age. However, when relating the variables parasitism and sex there was no dependence. The main species of protozoa and helminths found were: Entamoeba coli 24.39 %, Endolimax nana 21.95 %, Trichuris trichiura 21.95 %, Ascaris lumbricoides 7.31 % and the most prevalent species was the chromista Blastocystis sp. with 75.61 %. The high prevalence of intestinal parasitosis suggests a pattern of direct transmission between the studied population or through the consumption of water and/or fecally contaminated food. There is a need to evaluate the behavior in food hygiene and water supply. Key words: Prevalence, parasitosis, school children, monoparasitis, Blastocystis sp.

Untuk mengurangi dampak infeksi STH, diperlukan identifikasi faktor risiko. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan infeksi STH pada siswa sekolah dasar di Desa Seraya Timur, Karangasem, Bali. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang dengan mengambil total sampel. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Januari 2020. Data primer mengenai faktor-faktor risiko infeksi STH dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner. Diagnosis infeksi STH dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan tinja dengan metode Kato-Katz. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi-square untuk menentukan faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan infeksi STH. Hasil: Sebanyak 83 siswa yang berusia 6-12 tahun berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Terdapat 9 siswa (10.84%) yang terinfeksi STH dengan intensitas infeksi ringan. Sebanyak 55.56% terinfeksi Trichuris trichiura, 33.33% terinfeksi Ascaris lumbricoides dan 11.11% terinfeksi cacing tambang. Terdapat beberapa faktor risiko yang memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan infeksi STH diantaranya adalah sering bermain tanah (OR=6.86; 95%CI 1.326-35.494), bermain tanpa alas kaki (OR=10.5; 95%CI 1.249-88.278) tidak mencuci tangan setelah bermain tanah (OR=9.450; 95%CI 1.809-49.358) dan tidak memotong kuku secara rutin (OR=6.462; 95%CI 1.250-33.388). Pemberian obat cacing setiap enam bulan mampu memberikan efek proteksi terhadap infeksi STH (OR=0.085; 95%CI 0.016-0.449). Kesimpulan: Kebersihan diri menjadi faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan infeksi STH. Direkomendasikan untuk meningkatkan promosi kesehatan terkait kebersihan diri disamping pemberian obat cacing setiap enam bulan. Kata kunci: Faktor risiko, infeksi STH, anak sekolah dasar Abstract Background: Chronic soil transmitted helminth (STH) infection might cause nutritional, growth and cognitive impairment in children. Identifying the risk factors of STH infection is crucially needed to minimize the infection effects. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with STH infections among primary school students in Seraya Timur Village, Karangasem, Bali. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with a total sampling method. The study was conducted in January 2020. Risk factors data were collected using a questionnaire. The diagnosis of STH infection was done by stool examination with the Kato-Katz method. The chi-square test was used to determine the risk factors associated with STH infection. Results: 83 students with ages ranging from 6-12 years participated in this study. There were 9 students (10.84%) whose infected with mild infection of STH. 55.56% of students were infected by Trichuris trichiura, 33.33% were Ascaris lumbricoides infections and 11.11% were hookworm infections. There were several risk factors that significantly associated with STH infection including ground’s playing (OR=6.86; 95%CI 1.326-35.494), barefoot (OR=10.5; 95%CI 1.249-88.278), did not wash hands after playing soil (OR=9.450; 95%CI 1.809-49.358) and did not routinely cut their nails (OR=6.462; 95%CI 1.250-33.388). Deworming every six months could provide a protective effect against STH infection (OR=0.085; 95%CI 0.016-0.449). Conclusion: Personal hygiene is a risk factor associated with STH infection.

Soil Transmitted Helminthiasis

Soil transmitted helminthiasis are common in the world and cause illness, especially in developing countries. It can cause infection in humans by contact with parasitic eggs or larvae that live in moist and warm soil. Soil-transmitted helminthiasis is often caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale, and Necator americanus. In Indonesia, Soil transmitted helminthiasis prevalence is still high in some places. The tropical climate and high humidity support for the development of worms like in Sorong District, but there was no data. The purpose of this study is to identify the presece of Soil transmitted helminthiasis in primary school children in Sorong District. A cross-sectional study was conducted in two elementary schools located in Sorong District, West Papua, Indonesia. The two elementary schools are SDN 22 in Klain village and SD Inpres 24 in sub-district Mayamuk. Once collected, the pot that has contained stool is given formalin 10%. Stool examinattion using direct smear method to determine the presence of soil transmitted helminthiasis. Researchers get the subject as many as 147 children. The proportion of elementary school children by sex consists of 72 boys (49%) and 75 girls (51%). The prevalence of Soil transmitted helminthiasis as a whole was 30.6% (45/147) with 40.1% (18/45) single infections and 59.9% (27/45) mixed infections. The single infection that most frequent is Trichuris trichiura, then followed by Ascaris lumbricoides. Soil-transmitted helminthiasis mostly found in girl than boy and mostly found in 6-9 years age group. The worm species that infect elementary school children in the district is Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Hookworm, and Strongyloides stercoralis. This is probably related with the climate and low sanitation level. To eliminate soil transmitted helminthiasis among elementary school children, in addition to routine treatment also needs intensive counseling about the importance of maintaining personal hygiene and the environment.

Treatment Groups

Hookworm, Ascaris lumbricoides, and Trichuris trichiura each are estimated to infect ⅙ to ¼ of the world's population. Many studies show the association between infestation with these parasites and poor growth in children. Although the long-term solutions to malnutrition lie in eradicating poverty and in community-based programs to improve health care, living conditions, sanitation, water supplies, and health education, the enormous financial and logistic difficulties of implementing such improvements led these investigators to study the effectiveness of the pharmacology approach for short-term impact. Previous studies demonstrated that nearly all primary school children in the area in Kenya in which they worked had hookworm and Trichuris trichiura and half had Ascaris lumbricoides. A population-based randomly controlled trial of a once a year, twice a year, and placebo treatment with Albendazole 600 mg follow-up after 8 months demonstrated, in the two treatment groups compared with the placebo, significant decreases in the parasite burden and significant increases in weight for age, weight for height, and arm circumference with little difference between the two treatment groups. The mechanism by which such improvement in gravity occurred presumably involved altering host nutritional intake, metabolism, and excretion. These children did not have chronic diarrhea; therefore, the mechanism appears to be either increased by intake, metabolism, or both. This community chemotherapeutic approach to control these parasites and improve growth and nutrition is a practical, short-term method to improve child health in areas with a high prevalence of these parasites.

Abstract Vegetables eating raw are a leading source of transmission of infective forms of pathogenic internal parasites among human beings. This research was conducted from April to October, 2017 to assess the parasitic contamination of vegetables sold at main vegetable markets in districts Lower Dir and Peshawar, Pakistan. Eight hundred specimens of different vegetables were purchased and soaked in physiological saline solution, shaken with a mechanical shaker for 20 minutes and processed by sedimentation concentration method. Results revealed that only 19.7% (n=158/800) of the vegetables were found to be contaminated with single or multiple parasite species. Ascaris lumbricoides (the large round worm) 12.3% (n=99/800) was the most commonly detected pathogen and Taenia saginata (the beef tapeworm) 1.62% (n=13/800) was the least frequently detected one. Interestingly, significant p value (p>0.05 at 95%CI) between the number of examined and contaminated for all the variables studied including education status of the vendors, markets location, type of vegetables, means of display, washed before display, washing source of water and market type. The findings of this study evidenced that consumption of raw vegetables possesses great risk of getting parasitic infections in Lower Dir and Peshawar districts, Pakistan. Instructing the sellers and the public about parasitic disease transfer and their hygiene can reduce the infection rate of parasites of human origin.

Introducción. Las infecciones parasitarias y el poliparasitismo intestinal son muy prevalentes en las poblaciones más vulnerables de los países en desarrollo debido a la existencia de factores ambientales, biológicos y sociales determinantes en la transmisión de parásitos. La población entre uno y 15 años de edad es la más afectada por dicha situación.Objetivo. Describir las prevalencias y los perfiles del poliparasitismo intestinal en la población de uno a 15 años de edad de comunidades indígenas de la Amazonia colombiana.Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un muestreo no probabilístico de 300 niños entre uno y 15 años de edad, procedentes de varios asentamientos rurales y de la cabecera urbana de Puerto Nariño, Amazonas, quienes participaron voluntariamente en el estudio. Las muestras de materia fecal se analizaron mediante el método directo (solución salina al 0,85 % y lugol) y la técnica de Kato-Katz. Se determinaron los perfiles más prevalentes de poliparasitismo intestinal con el coeficiente kappa de Cohen y un intervalo de confianza de 95 %.Resultados. La prevalencia de poliparasitismo, definida como la presencia de, por lo menos, dos parásitos intestinales patógenos, fue de 84 % (IC95 %: 79,35-87,96). Los casos con presencia de dos o tres agentes incluyeron los parásitos Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Blastocystis sp., los ancilostomídeos Ancylostoma duodenale y Necator americanus, así como Entamoeba histolytica, E. dispar y E. moshkovskii del complejo Entamoeba, y fueron los de mayor prevalencia.Conclusión. Se encontraron varios perfiles de poliparasitismo intestinal, aunque la mayoría de los casos involucraron menos de seis especies. Una mejor estimación de la prevalencia y los factores determinantes del poliparasitismo intestinal permitirían priorizar y orientar los recursos para su control.
