In an attempt to determine the prevalence of pinworm infection, the egg positive rate of Enterobius vermicularis was examined using the adhesive cello-tape anal swab method in 1,512 preschool children sampled from a total of 20 kindergartens in Cheongju city, in November to December of 2004 (951 children from 13 kindergartens) and September to October of 2005 (561 from 7 kindergartens). The overall egg positive rate was found to be 7.9% (119/1,512); 9.3% (73/784) for boys and 6.3% (46/728) for girls, respectively. The 5-year age group evidenced the highest egg positive rate (10.9%, 47/430) among the examined age groups. As compared to those reported from previous works (ranged from 9.2 to 26.1%), the prevalence of E. vermicularis in the Cheongju city area is relatively low.
为了确定蛲虫感染的流行情况,于2004年11月至12月(来自13所幼儿园的951名儿童)以及2005年9月至10月(来自7所幼儿园的561名儿童),采用透明胶纸肛拭法对清州市20所幼儿园抽取的1512名学龄前儿童进行了蛲虫卵阳性率检测。总体虫卵阳性率为7.9%(119/1512);男孩为9.3%(73/784),女孩为6.3%(46/728)。在受检年龄组中,5岁年龄组的虫卵阳性率最高(10.9%,47/430)。与以往研究报告的结果(9.
