The objective of the survey was to estimate the frequencies of tuberculosis and intestinal parasitosis in indigenous communities at the locality of Iauareté, Northern Brazil, in 2001. This was a cross-sectional survey (n=333) aimed at obtaining demographic data and biological samples for sputum and feces examinations. Among the 43 individuals with respiratory symptoms, six presented alcohol/acid-fast bacilli in sputum. Intestinal parasitosis was significantly more frequent among the Hüpda population than among the Indians living in other districts (37.5% vs. 19.3% for Ascaris lumbricoides, 32.4% vs. 16.3% for Trichuris trichiura, 75% vs. 19.3% for hookworms, 75% vs. 35.4% for Entamoeba histolyticaD dispar and 33.3% vs. 10.7% for Giardia lamblia). It is concluded that tuberculosis and intestinal parasitism are frequent in these communities, thus requiring control measures and better medical care.
该调查的目的是估计2001年巴西北部伊亚雷泰地区土著社区的结核病和肠道寄生虫病发病率。这是一项横断面调查（n = 333），旨在获取人口统计学数据以及用于痰液和粪便检查的生物样本。在43名有呼吸道症状的个体中，有6人痰液中检出酒精/抗酸杆菌。胡普达人群中的肠道寄生虫病发病率显著高于生活在其他地区的印第安人（蛔虫病：37.5% 对19.3%；鞭虫病：32.4% 对16.3%；钩虫病：75% 对19.3%；溶组织内阿米巴/迪氏内阿米巴：75% 对35.4%；蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫：33.3% 对10.7%）。结论是这些社区中结核病和肠道寄生虫病很常见，因此需要采取控制措施并提供更好的医疗护理。
