A study of the prevalence and intensity of soil-transmitted helminthiasis among pre-school children aged 0 to 7 years from an Orang Asli village resettlement scheme in Gua Musang, Kelantan was undertaken. The overall prevalence of soil transmitted helminthic (STH) infections was 56.0%. The predominant helminth found was Ascaris lumbricoides while the commonest type of infection was a mixed infection with Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura. The prevalence rates of Ascaris, Trichuris and hookworm infections were 47.5%, 33.9% and 6.2% respectively. The intensity of Ascaris infections were 64.5% light, 27.3% moderate and 8.3% heavy whilst the intensity of Trichuris infections were 80.5% light, 18.3% moderate and 1.2% heavy. However, the intensity of hookworm infections were 86.7% light, 13.3% moderate and no heavy infection. The prevalence of helminthiasis (STH) shows an-age dependent relationship, with the lowest prevalence in 0-< 1 year age group and highest in the 6-< 7 year age group.
对吉兰丹瓜母桑一个原住民村庄安置计划中0至7岁学龄前儿童的土壤传播蠕虫病患病率和感染强度进行了一项研究。土壤传播蠕虫(STH)感染的总体患病率为56.0%。发现的主要蠕虫是蛔虫,最常见的感染类型是蛔虫和鞭虫的混合感染。蛔虫、鞭虫和钩虫感染的患病率分别为47.5%、33.9%和6.2%。蛔虫感染强度为轻度64.5%、中度27.3%、重度8.3%,而鞭虫感染强度为轻度80.5%、中度18.3%、重度1.2%。然而,钩虫感染强度为轻度86.7%、中度13.3%,无重度感染。蠕虫病(STH)的患病率呈现年龄依赖性关系,在0至<1岁年龄组患病率最低,在6至<7岁年龄组患病率最高。
