Four thousand immigrant schoolchildren were screened by using a concentration method on a single faecal specimen for intestinal helminths; 1,468 (37%) were positive. Carriage rates were highest (51%) in children from the West Indies, in whom trichuris (75% of carriers) and ascaris (40% of carriers) predominated; carriage of two or more species was common (36% of carriers). Carriage of worms was low in children from Kenya (16%) and Uganda (7%). Children from South-east Asia, predominantly from India and Pakistan, had carriage rates between 30 and 40%; girls and boys from Pakistan differed significantly in their carriage patterns of hook-worm (commoner in boys) and hymenolepis and ascaris (commoner in girls).Five salmonellas were found, two of which were Salmonella typhi, and five Shigella sonnei were isolated. No isolates were made of Vibrio cholerae (classical or El Tor biotypes) from 590 South-east Asian children.
采用浓缩法对4000名移民学龄儿童的单一粪便标本进行肠道蠕虫筛查;1468名(37%)呈阳性。西印度群岛儿童的携带率最高(51%),其中鞭虫(携带者的75%)和蛔虫(携带者的40%)占主导;携带两种或更多种蠕虫很常见(携带者的36%)。肯尼亚(16%)和乌干达(7%)儿童的蠕虫携带率较低。来自东南亚的儿童,主要是印度和巴基斯坦的儿童,携带率在30%至40%之间;来自巴基斯坦的女孩和男孩在钩虫(男孩中更常见)、膜壳绦虫和蛔虫(女孩中更常见)的携带模式上有显著差异。发现了5株沙门氏菌,其中2株为伤寒沙门氏菌,还分离出5株宋内志贺菌。在590名东南亚儿童中未分离出霍乱弧菌(古典或埃尔托生物型)。
