A total of 22,970 stool specimens collected from patients attending the Central Medical Laboratory in the city of Nablus in the period of 1981-1986 were examined for intestinal parasites. Of these 7412 (32.3%) were positive. Entamoeba histolytica (22.9%), Giardia lamblia (7.3%), and Ascaris lumbricoides (5.7%) were the most prevalent intestinal parasites found. Other intestinal parasites present included Hymenolepis nana, Trichomonas hominis, Trichuris trichiura, Taenia saginata, Enterobius vermicularis and Strongyloides stercoralis. Seasonal occurrence of intestinal parasites in the West Bank of Jordan was also studied in the period January 1981-August 1987. Lower prevalence rates of intestinal parasites generally occurred during winter and early spring. Peak incidence occurred during summer and early autumn. The reasons for these seasonal variations are discussed.
1981年至1986年期间，从纳布卢斯市中央医学实验室的患者那里总共采集了22970份粪便标本，用于检测肠道寄生虫。其中7412份（32.3%）呈阳性。溶组织内阿米巴（22.9%）、蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫（7.3%）和蛔虫（5.7%）是最常见的肠道寄生虫。其他存在的肠道寄生虫包括微小膜壳绦虫、人毛滴虫、鞭虫、牛带绦虫、蛲虫和粪类圆线虫。还对1981年1月至1987年8月期间约旦河西岸肠道寄生虫的季节性发生情况进行了研究。肠道寄生虫的患病率通常在冬季和早春较低。发病率高峰出现在夏季和初秋。文中讨论了这些季节性变化的原因。
