Abstract

BACKGROUND

Toxocariasis is a disease caused by nematodes and occurs from consuming their eggs. The main hosts of these worms are dogs and cats. The disease in humans becomes a visceral larva migrans (VLM). This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of toxocariasis in children aged 6-14 years.

METHODS

This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from Jun 1 2016 to Dec 1 2017 in Sanandaj, west of Iran. A total of 182 serum samples were collected from children age 6 to14 yr referred to medical diagnostic laboratories. Demographic data (age, sex, and parents' literacy status), clinical signs (cough, headache, fever, abdominal pain), and the history of contact with dogs and cats was collected by a questionnaire. The presence of anti- IgG antibody was detected by IgG ELISA (IBL, Germany) kit.

RESULTS

Of 182 subjects, 97 (53.3%) were male and 85 (46.7%) female. The average age was 9.2 years. Antibodies against were positive in three cases (1.65%) of all the studied subjects.

CONCLUSIONS

The results showed a low prevalence of toxocariasis in children studied.

摘要

背景

弓蛔虫病是一种由线虫引起的疾病，通过摄入其虫卵而发病。这些蠕虫的主要宿主是狗和猫。人类感染该疾病后会引发内脏幼虫移行症（VLM）。本描述性横断面研究旨在确定6至14岁儿童的弓蛔虫病患病率。

方法

本横断面描述性研究于2016年6月1日至2017年12月1日在伊朗西部的萨南达季进行。从前往医学诊断实验室的6至14岁儿童中总共采集了182份血清样本。通过问卷收集人口统计学数据（年龄、性别和父母的识字状况）、临床症状（咳嗽、头痛、发热、腹痛）以及与狗和猫接触的历史。使用IgG ELISA（德国IBL）试剂盒检测抗IgG抗体的存在。
