or pinworm, is considered as one of the most frequently encountered intestinal nematodes and infects millions of people throughout the world particularly children. Some symptoms of the infection including Anal itching, restlessness, insomnia, endometritis, abdominal cramps, diarrhea and etc. The purpose of the present study was to determine the status of enterobiasis in kindergarten and preschool children of kindergartens from Amir Kola, Babol Mazandaran Province, North of Iran. A total number of 126 (70 boys and 56 girls) children from four kindergartens from Amir Kola, Babol, Mazandaran Province, North of Iran were examined for the prevalence of infection, 2013. Adhesive cello-tape anal swab method was trained to parents for sampling. In addition, a questionnaire was designed and filled out to collect demographic information for each individual. Data were analyzed using Chi square test and multivariate logistic regression for each risk factor. The overall prevalence of infection was 22.2 % (28). Infection with in girls 23.2 % was higher compared to boys 21.4 %. Regarding age of examined individuals, infection was seen more both in boys and girls with the age of 6 years old compared to other age groups. There was no significant difference between gender and age ( < 0.05). Based on the results of current study, prevalence of in kindergarten and preschool children is high and still is an important public health matter in the north of Iran and should not be underestimated due to being highly contagious infection. Therefore, a systematic control and preventive measures should be adopted to reduce morbidity associated with enterobiasis.
蛲虫被认为是最常见的肠道线虫之一，全世界感染人数达数百万，尤其是儿童。感染的一些症状包括肛门瘙痒、烦躁不安、失眠、子宫内膜炎、腹部绞痛、腹泻等。本研究的目的是确定伊朗北部马赞德兰省巴博勒市阿米尔科拉幼儿园的幼儿园儿童和学龄前儿童的蛲虫感染状况。2013年，对来自伊朗北部马赞德兰省巴博勒市阿米尔科拉四所幼儿园的126名儿童（70名男孩和56名女孩）进行了感染率检查。向家长培训了用粘性胶带肛门拭子法进行采样。此外，设计并填写了一份问卷，以收集每个人的人口统计学信息。对每个风险因素的数据使用卡方检验和多因素逻辑回归进行分析。感染的总体患病率为22.2%（28例）。女孩的感染率为23.2%，高于男孩的21.4%。关于受检个体的年龄，与其他年龄组相比，6岁的男孩和女孩感染率更高。性别和年龄之间无显著差异（P<0.05）。根据本研究结果，幼儿园儿童和学龄前儿童的蛲虫感染率很高，在伊朗北部仍然是一个重要的公共卫生问题，由于其传染性很强，不应被低估。因此，应采取系统的控制和预防措施，以降低与蛲虫病相关的发病率。
