Abstract

A biomedical survey for intestinal parasites was conducted in Napsan on the island of Palawan, Philippines in September 1986. A total of 353 stool specimens were obtained from 155 males and 198 females ranging in age from 1 1/2 months to 70 years. Ascaris lumbricoides, 34.8%, hookworm 34.8% and Trichuris trichiura 25.2% were the most common helminths encountered, while Entamoeba coli 27.7% and Endolinax nana 22.2% were the common protozoans. This study demonstrated a 7-13% higher overall prevalence of intestinal parasites among the population on Palawan compared to previous studies in the rural Philippines.

摘要

1986年9月，在菲律宾巴拉望岛的纳桑进行了一项关于肠道寄生虫的生物医学调查。共采集了353份粪便标本，来自155名男性和198名女性，年龄从1个半月到70岁不等。最常见的蠕虫是蛔虫（34.8%）、钩虫（34.8%）和鞭虫（25.2%），而常见的原生动物是结肠内阿米巴（27.7%）和微小内蜒阿米巴（22.2%）。这项研究表明，与之前在菲律宾农村地区的研究相比，巴拉望岛人群肠道寄生虫的总体患病率高出7%-13%。
