- W4225005387 abstract "This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) among patients referred from different primary healthcare centers (PHC) in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.A cross-sectional retrospective study conducted at Riyadh Regional Laboratory (RRL). All stool samples that are requested for intestinal parasite detection by physicians from PHCs across the Riyadh Region during year 2020 are referred to the RRL. The data recorded included age, sex, nationality, PHC location, and the stool analysis result with the type of parasite detected.The data of 1148 patients were collected and statistically analyzed. IPIs were present in 296 (25.8%) patients, among whom 40 were infected with more than one parasite. The rate of infection with intestinal protozoa (95.4%) was higher than that with intestinal helminths (4.6%). Sixty (17.4%) infections were caused by pathogenic intestinal parasites, including pathogenic protozoa and helminths. The most common pathogenic protozoa were Entamoeba histolytica/dispar, which represented 9.3% of all IPIs and 72.7% of infections caused by pathogenic protozoa. Saudi nationals were the predominant population infected with pathogenic protozoa (44.0%). Ascaris lumbricoides was the most common helminth infection (56.3%) among patients. Nonpathogenic IPIs were detected at a higher rate (82.6%) than pathogenic IPIs (17.4%), with the predominant protozoa being Blastocystis hominis (61.0%). A higher rate of IPIs was observed in expatriates than in Saudi nationals (229 [33.6%] vs. 67 [14.3%], respectively) (P = 0.0000).Among the 12 different nationalities in our study cohort, the prevalence was the lowest in Saudi nationals (14.3%). The prevalence of B. hominis was high in all areas and nationalities, affecting all age groups among the patients referred for stool analysis. The implementation of preventive measures and awareness programs regarding sanitation and personal hygiene are needed." @default.
