A baseline study of soil-transmitted helminthiases was carried out in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, southern Thailand. The study sites were Wat Krou Chou Primary School and nearby villages in Sichon district, and Wat Thang Phoon Primary School and nearby villages in Chalerm Phrakiat District. Surveys of the schoolchildren's stools were conducted by the Kato-Katz technique. The results showed that 23.7% of schoolchildren in Wat Krou Chou and 24.7% of those in Wat Thang Phoon were infected with soil-transmitted helminths, with a 24.1% overall infection rate. The major infection was hookworm (22.2% and 19.6%) and the minor one was trichuriasis, (2.9% and 8.7% respectively). The intensity of infection was similar in both schools, 85.7% and 90.2% respectively for light intensity hookworm. Schoolchildren with hookworm infection were not anemic. The hemoglobin value of children with hookworm infection was not significantly different from that of uninfected children. Data regarding the health behavior of children's parents in both schools were reported.
在泰国南部的那空是贪玛叻府开展了一项土壤传播蠕虫病的基线研究。研究地点包括四春 district 的 Wat Krou Chou 小学及其附近村庄,以及猜也蓬区的 Wat Thang Phoon 小学及其附近村庄。采用加藤厚涂片法对学童粪便进行调查。结果显示,Wat Krou Chou 的学童中23.7%感染土壤传播蠕虫,Wat Thang Phoon 的学童中24.7%感染,总体感染率为24.1%。主要感染是钩虫(分别为22.2%和19.6%),次要感染是鞭虫病(分别为2.9%和8.7%)。两所学校的感染强度相似,轻度钩虫感染率分别为85.7%和90.2%。感染钩虫的学童没有贫血。感染钩虫的儿童血红蛋白值与未感染儿童的血红蛋白值无显著差异。报告了两所学校儿童家长的健康行为数据。
