BACKGROUND
This is the first work done on cryptosporidiosis among the children in Taiz, Yemen.
METHODS
A number of 712 samples were collected from children of different ages (ranging from 1 month to 12 years) from Dec 2006 to Aug 2007. The collected samples were examined by Sheather's sugar floatation and Modified Ziehl- Neelsen stain as well as ELISA methods. The test results were statistically analyzed by SPSS software.
RESULTS
The overall positive percentage was 43.7%. The higher incidence (36.2%) was occurred in males while the lowest incidence (32.7%) was observed in females (r=0.876; P=0.001). The correlation between infected cases and the type of drinking water was r =0.121. Among the cases examined by ELISA (92 cases), 26.1% were infected. The correlation between seropositivity and gender was r=0.652 (P=0.031).
CONCLUSION
Cryptosporidium spp. is a significant pathogen among children at Taiz. Fresh water supplies, education, eating habits and domestic animals are considered the main sources for transmission of cryptosporidiosis.
背景
这是也门塔伊兹针对儿童隐孢子虫病开展的首个研究。
方法
2006年12月至2007年8月期间，从不同年龄段（1个月至12岁）的儿童中采集了712份样本。采集的样本采用Sheather氏糖漂浮法、改良齐-尼氏染色法以及酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）法进行检测。检测结果采用SPSS软件进行统计分析。
结果
总体阳性率为43.7%。男性发病率较高（36.2%），而女性发病率最低（32.7%）（r = 0.876；P = 0.001）。感染病例与饮用水类型之间的相关性为r = 0.121。在采用ELISA法检测的病例（92例）中，26.1%受到感染。血清阳性与性别之间的相关性为r = 0.652（P = 0.031）。
结论
隐孢子虫属是塔伊兹儿童中的一种重要病原体。淡水供应、教育、饮食习惯和家畜被认为是隐孢子虫病传播的主要来源。
