To assess the prevalence of parasitic infections among patients attending Saint Camille Medical Centre and to estimate co-parasitic infections rates.
From January to December 2009, stool samples were collected from 11 728 persons, aged from five months to 72 years and suffering from gastroenteritis. After macroscopic description, the stools were examined by light microscopy to search for the presence of parasites.
From the 11 728 analyzed stools, 6 154 (52.47%) were infected with at least one parasite. Protozoan frequently encountered were: Giardia intestinalis (43.47%), Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar (30.74%) and Trichomonas intestinalis (21.72%), while Hymenolepis nana (2.25%) was the most common helminth. Co-infections occurred in 22.34% cases. Within the multi-infected samples, dual and triple infections accounted for 71.18% and 20.00%, respectively. Giardia intestinalis for protozoan and Hymenolepis nana for helminths were the most implicated co-infections.
This study confirms that intestinal parasites are still a public health problem in Burkina Faso. To reduce the incidence of parasitic infections, it is necessary to promote the education of people so that they practice the rules of individual and collective hygiene.
评估圣卡米尔医疗中心就诊患者寄生虫感染的流行情况，并估算合并寄生虫感染率。
2009 年 1 月至 12 月，收集了 11728 例年龄在 5 个月至 72 岁之间、患有肠胃炎的患者的粪便样本。大便经肉眼描述后，用光学显微镜检查以查找寄生虫的存在。
在所分析的 11728 例粪便中，有 6154 例（52.47%）至少感染了一种寄生虫。常见的原生动物有：肠贾第虫（43.47%）、溶组织内阿米巴/迪斯帕内阿米巴（30.74%）和肠滴虫（21.72%），而细粒棘球绦虫（2.25%）是最常见的蠕虫。合并感染发生在 22.34%的病例中。在多感染样本中，双感染和三感染分别占 71.18%和 20.00%。肠贾第虫和细粒棘球绦虫是最常见的合并感染。
本研究证实，肠道寄生虫仍然是布基纳法索的一个公共卫生问题。为了降低寄生虫感染的发生率，有必要加强对民众的教育，使他们遵守个人和集体卫生规则。
