Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) prevalence, intensity, polyparasitism and co-infections in 425 children from 3 schools of Laguna de Perlas (Nicaragua) were investigated. Single stool samples were analysed by the formalin-ether method and the Kato-Katz. A total of 402 (94.6%) children were infected. Trichuris trichiura 308 (72.4%), Ascaris lumbricoides 115 (27.1%) and Hookworms 54 (12.7%) were the most prevalent STHs. Polyparasitism (322; 75.8%) with two species was most prevalent (109; 25.6%). T. trichiura with A. lumbricoides (19.3%) and T. trichiura with Hookworm (6.8%) were the most common combinations. Positive associations were observed between T. trichiura and A. lumbricoides and T. trichiura and Hookworm (p = 0.0001). Highest Hookworm intensities appeared when three STH co-infections occurred. Moderate- heavy STH intensities appear in up to 42.1% in trichuriasis, 57.5% in ascariasis and 11.1% in Hookworm infections. Integrated control interventions covering children need to be implemented mainly in a rural environment.
对来自尼加拉瓜珍珠湖3所学校的425名儿童的土壤传播蠕虫(STH)感染率、感染强度、多重寄生虫感染和合并感染情况进行了调查。通过福尔马林-乙醚法和加藤厚涂片法对单份粪便样本进行分析。共有402名(94.6%)儿童受到感染。最常见的土壤传播蠕虫为鞭虫(308例,72.4%)、蛔虫(115例,27.1%)和钩虫(54例,12.7%)。两种蠕虫的多重寄生虫感染(322例,75.8%)最为常见(109例,25.6%)。鞭虫与蛔虫(19.3%)以及鞭虫与钩虫(6.8%)的组合最为常见。观察到鞭虫与蛔虫以及鞭虫与钩虫之间存在正相关(p = 0.0001)。当三种土壤传播蠕虫合并感染时,钩虫感染强度最高。鞭虫感染中,中度至重度感染强度出现比例高达42.1%;蛔虫感染中为57.5%;钩虫感染中为11.1%。主要需要在农村环境中实施针对儿童的综合防治干预措施。
