The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the magnitude of intestinal parasitosis and anaemia in a Health Center, North Ethiopia.
A total of 427 outpatients were enrolled and the median age of the participants was 22 years. The prevalence of intestinal parasitosis was 143 (33.5%). Age, place of residence and occupation were significantly associated with intestinal parasitosis. When we see parasite specific factors, significant associations were observed for source of drinking water (P = 0.02), age (P < 0.001) and family size (P = 0.003), respectively with Entameba histolytica, Hookworm and Giardia lamblia infections. The overall prevalence of anaemia was 35 (8.2%). The mean haemoglobin concentration among the study participants was 12.8 mg/dl. The highest prevalence of anemia was recorded for the age group of 15-19 years (29.6%). The proportion of anemia among intestinal parasite -infected and non-infected participants was 10.7 and 7.0%, respectively. Study participants infected with S. stercoralis and hookworm were more likely to develop anaemia than the non- infected ones; AOR (adjusted odds ratio) = 5.3, 95% CI (1.01-27.4); P = 0.028 and AOR = 11.1, 95% CI (3.36-36.9); P = 0.000, respectively.
本横断面研究的目的是确定埃塞俄比亚北部一个健康中心肠道寄生虫病和贫血的严重程度。
共纳入427名门诊患者，参与者的中位年龄为22岁。肠道寄生虫病的患病率为143例（33.5%）。年龄、居住地点和职业与肠道寄生虫病显著相关。当我们观察寄生虫特异性因素时，分别观察到饮用水源（P = 0.02）、年龄（P < 0.001）和家庭规模（P = 0.003）与溶组织内阿米巴、钩虫和蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫感染有显著关联。贫血的总体患病率为35例（8.2%）。研究参与者的平均血红蛋白浓度为12.8mg/dl。15 - 19岁年龄组的贫血患病率最高（29.6%）。肠道寄生虫感染和未感染参与者中的贫血比例分别为10.7%和7.0%。感染粪类圆线虫和钩虫的研究参与者比未感染者更易患贫血；调整后的优势比（AOR）= 5.3，95%置信区间（CI）（1.01 - 27.4）；P = 0.028，AOR = 11.1，95% CI（3.36 - 36.9）；P = 0.000。
