In this study prevalence of intestinal parasite agents was investigated among elementary school students in the Mugla city centre.
Only 663 relatives among 3560 students allowed us to investigate and obtain fecal specimens of the students. Specimens were examined by native and lugol staining. Repeated samples were requested from suspected cases and evaluated.
Intestinal parasites were found in 73 stool specimens (11.01%) taken from students. The frequently observed parasite was Ascaris lumbricoides at ratio of 52% (39 students).
It was estimated that, because of the lack of a sewage system in the Mugla province, health education and periodically parasite examinations should be administered to elementary school students and their families in order to raise awareness and prevent parasitic infections.
本研究调查了穆拉市中心小学生肠道寄生虫病原体的流行情况。
在3560名学生中，只有663名学生的亲属允许我们对学生进行调查并获取粪便样本。样本采用生理盐水涂片法和卢戈氏碘液染色法进行检查。对疑似病例要求重复取样并进行评估。
从学生中采集的73份粪便样本（11.01%）中发现了肠道寄生虫。最常观察到的寄生虫是蛔虫，占比52%（39名学生）。
据估计，由于穆拉省缺乏污水处理系统，应为小学生及其家庭开展健康教育并定期进行寄生虫检查，以提高认识并预防寄生虫感染。
