The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of intestinal parasites in patients with chronic diarrhea and clarify the importance of these parasitic pathogens in such cases. A total of 60 pediatric patients with chronic diarrhea between June 2012 and October 2014 were enrolled in the study. Out of 60 stool samples, five were positive for Giardia lamblia, two, Dientamoeba fragilis, and one, Blastocystis hominis. One stool sample was positive for Entamoeba hartmanni and B. hominis, another one was positive for G. lamblia and B. hominis, another, G. lamblia and E. hartmanni and one sample was positive for Enterobius vermicularis, D. fragilis and B. hominis together. Parasitic infection, which decreases quality of life and increases susceptibility to other infections, should not be neglected, particularly in patients with chronic diarrhea. Accurate diagnosis decreases morbidity and mortality in patients with parasite infection.
本研究的目的是调查慢性腹泻患者肠道寄生虫的感染频率，并阐明这些寄生性病原体在此类病例中的重要性。2012年6月至2014年10月期间，共有60例慢性腹泻患儿纳入本研究。在60份粪便样本中，5份蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫检测呈阳性，2份脆弱双核阿米巴检测呈阳性，1份人芽囊原虫检测呈阳性。1份粪便样本中哈氏内阿米巴和人芽囊原虫检测呈阳性，另1份蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫和人芽囊原虫检测呈阳性，还有1份蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫和哈氏内阿米巴检测呈阳性，1份样本中蠕形住肠线虫、脆弱双核阿米巴和人芽囊原虫检测均呈阳性。寄生虫感染会降低生活质量并增加对其他感染的易感性，不应被忽视，尤其是在慢性腹泻患者中。准确的诊断可降低寄生虫感染患者的发病率和死亡率。
