Parasitic infections are an important health problem which affect children more than adults. Especially in growth-age children, this leads to problems such as malnutrition, malabsorption, growth retardation and learning disabilities. In this study, 328 students who were investigated in two primary schools between the ages of 6 and 14 in Kayseri-Hacılar region were analyzed for intestinal parasites.
Stool samples were analyzed by light microscopy for the detection of helminths and protozoon using the native-lugol method. Cellophane tape samples were also analyzed by light microscopy for the detection of Enterobius vermicularis and Taenia spp.
At least one or more intestinal parasite species were found in 116 (35.4 %) children. The distribution of parasites which were detected in stool samples was as follows; Blastocystis hominis, 77 (23.5%); Enterobius vermicularis, 35 (10.7%); Giardia intestinalis, 14 (4.3%); Entamoeba coli, 15 (4.6%); Endolimax nana, 6 (1.8%); Hymenolepis nana, 1 (0.3%); Iodamoeba butschlii, 1 (0.3%).
Parasitic diseases are a major public health problem and we believe that education about personal hygiene, sanitation rules and parasitic diseases is important to overcome this problem.
寄生虫感染是一个重要的健康问题，对儿童的影响大于成人。尤其是在成长阶段的儿童中，这会导致营养不良、吸收不良、生长发育迟缓以及学习障碍等问题。在本研究中，对开塞利-哈西拉尔地区两所小学6至14岁的328名学生进行了肠道寄生虫分析。
粪便样本采用生理盐水-卢戈氏碘液法通过光学显微镜分析以检测蠕虫和原生动物。透明胶带样本也通过光学显微镜分析以检测蠕形住肠线虫和带绦虫属。
116名（35.4%）儿童中发现了至少一种或多种肠道寄生虫。在粪便样本中检测到的寄生虫分布如下：人芽囊原虫，77例（23.5%）；蠕形住肠线虫，35例（10.7%）；肠贾第虫，14例（4.3%）；结肠内阿米巴，15例（4.6%）；微小内蜒阿米巴，6例（1.8%）；微小膜壳绦虫，1例（0.3%）；布氏嗜碘阿米巴，1例（0.3%）。
寄生虫病是一个主要的公共卫生问题，我们认为关于个人卫生、卫生规则和寄生虫病的教育对于克服这一问题很重要。
