- W2068722916 abstract "Background: Parasites, including helminthes and protozoa, are regarded as a major health and economic concern in many parts of the world.These organisms have a worldwide distribution,such that no place can be found without some types of parasitic diseases. Epidemiological data and the accurate statistics are not available on the recent years’ prevalence of parasitic infections in Qom province. Considering the specific condition of Qom province in hosting large numberof pilgrims and immigrants, the current study was performed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in patients referred to health centers of Qom province. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on stool specimens from patients referred to the health centers of Qom province. We totally evaluated 117,403 fecal samples by formalin-ether acetate and direct panning technique for presence of the parasite. Moreover,scotch tape method was used for detection ofOxyurisvermicularis. Demographic data were recorded in the patients’ questionnaires and the results were analyzed using statistical tests. Results: Within the 117,403 fecal samples evaluated, protozoa, Giardiasis, and then Entamoeba Coli were the most frequently observed parasites.The lowest infection rate was related to Oxyuris vermicularis. The three-year prevalence percentage was determined to be 6.7%.Most infections occurred in spring and summer, in the age group below 10, and in residents of suburbs and villages. The Infection rates were almost similar in the two sexes. Conclusion: Distribution and transmission of many parasitic infections can be avoidedby removing the shortcomings in environmental health facilities, sanitary disposal of garbage, and improvement in quality of drinking water. Moreover, case finding, care and treatment follow up, and education of personal and public health can play an important role in promoting the community's health level. The statistics reported on the frequency rate of parasitic infections in different areas are different. These differences originate from the varieties in geographical and climate conditions, personal and public health, population density, and the immune system condition of different individuals. Results of the study can be helpful for those in charge of health affairs in providing more appropriate health services to decrease the parasitic infection rate in the region." @default.
