Abstract
Current Status of Intestinal Parasites among Elementary School children in Sohag, Egypt
Highlights
Gastrointestinal illnesses created toward pathogenic protozoa and helminths are related to an elevated degree of morbidity and mortality worldwide, in children
The World Health Organization detected that 600 million of school children living in tropical and subtropical localities had intestinal parasitic infections (Tefera et al, 2015).The difficulty to acquire safe water, hygiene and sanitation are the key factors for the high intensity of intestinal parasites that, children frequently have the clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal morbidity and malabsorption syndrome (Macchioni et al, 2015)
The oro-fecal course has a gigantic role in the transmission of Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) to individuals
Summary
Gastrointestinal illnesses created toward pathogenic protozoa and helminths are related to an elevated degree of morbidity and mortality worldwide, in children. Protozoal infections were registered every year in 58 million children (Calderaro et al, 2014). Intestinal worms reached up to 12% of the total disease burden in children aging 5–14 years in low-income countries (Reji et al, 2011). The World Health Organization detected that 600 million of school children living in tropical and subtropical localities had intestinal parasitic infections (Tefera et al, 2015).The difficulty to acquire safe water, hygiene and sanitation are the key factors for the high intensity of intestinal parasites that, children frequently have the clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal morbidity and malabsorption syndrome (Macchioni et al, 2015). Crowding among children in schools was reported to increase the opportunity for person-to-person transmission or environmental contamination with these parasites (Mbae et al, 2013).
