A prospective study was carried out in 229 chronic patients (of both sexes) from the Psychiatric Hospital of Putaendo, in order to find out the frequency of intestinal parasites and/or commensals in the period 1987-1989. One hundred and ninety four (84.7%) out of the 229 studied patients were infected by parasites and/or commensals. The high prevalence of commensals Entamoeba coli (55.0%) and Endolimax nana (50.5%) became more evident. Among the parasites, the most frequent was Trichuris trichiura (41.5%). The presence of Pediculus humanus capitis and lesions suggestive of those produced by Sarcoptes scabiei were detected in 7.2 and 0.6 of the examined patients. The results obtained show the high frequency of intestinal infections by parasites and commensals in the patients of the studied hospital.
对普塔endo精神病院的229名慢性病患者（男女皆有）进行了一项前瞻性研究，以查明1987年至1989年期间肠道寄生虫和/或共生菌的感染频率。在229名研究患者中，有194名（84.7%）感染了寄生虫和/或共生菌。共生菌大肠内阿米巴（55.0%）和微小内蜒阿米巴（50.5%）的高感染率更为明显。在寄生虫中，最常见的是鞭虫（41.5%）。在所检查的患者中，分别有7.2%和0.6%的患者检测到人头虱以及疑似疥螨引起的病变。所获得的结果表明，在所研究医院的患者中，寄生虫和共生菌引起的肠道感染频率很高。
