To begin to characterize the health needs of the growing number of refugees from Central America, we compiled the results of examinations for ova and parasites of a single stool specimen of each of 128 children of Central American and Mexican background who entered our health center during a four-month period. Among the 96 children who were born in Central America or Mexico, there was a 65% prevalence of parasitic infestation. Pathogens were found in 46% and multiple pathogens in 14%. Among the 32 American-born children there was a 13% prevalence of parasitic infection, but no pathogens were found. There was no correlation between symptoms and the presence of parasites. Screening Central American immigrant children for intestinal parasites is a high-yield procedure and should be part of their routine health care.
为了开始描述越来越多来自中美洲难民的健康需求，我们汇总了在四个月期间进入我们健康中心的128名中美洲和墨西哥裔儿童每人一份粪便标本的虫卵和寄生虫检查结果。在96名出生于中美洲或墨西哥的儿童中，寄生虫感染率为65%。发现病原体的占46%，发现多种病原体的占14%。在32名在美国出生的儿童中，寄生虫感染率为13%，但未发现病原体。症状与寄生虫的存在之间没有相关性。对中美洲移民儿童进行肠道寄生虫筛查是一项高效的检查，应成为他们常规医疗保健的一部分。
