We report the frequency of parasitic infections 1971-84 in a major New York City Medical Center whose catchment area includes many immigrants from Dominican Republic. Infection with 7,803 parasites was documented in 41,958 laboratory specimens. Trends were toward fewer total specimens being sent and fewer still being positive, although a rise in G. lamblia, E. histolytica, and Cryptosporidium is apparent in recent years. Parasitology laboratories should provide similar data to alert clinicians to the parasites prevalent locally.
我们报告了1971年至1984年期间纽约市一家主要医疗中心的寄生虫感染频率，该医疗中心的服务区域包括许多来自多米尼加共和国的移民。在41958份实验室标本中记录到7803例寄生虫感染。尽管近年来兰氏贾第鞭毛虫、溶组织内阿米巴和隐孢子虫感染有所增加，但送检标本总数呈下降趋势，阳性标本数量也在减少。寄生虫学实验室应提供类似数据，以提醒临床医生注意当地流行的寄生虫。
