The incidence of intestinal parasite infection is on the increase in the United States due, in part, to the recent entry into this country of more than 500,000 Southeast Asian refugees. Most symptoms of parasitic infections are nonspecific and many infected individuals are asymptomatic. Stool specimens are used to identify the specific organism. Treatment, which varies depending on the infecting organism, is presented. Patient education especially in the area of hygiene is important to prevent reinfection.
在美国，肠道寄生虫感染的发病率正在上升，部分原因是最近有超过50万东南亚难民进入该国。寄生虫感染的大多数症状是非特异性的，许多感染者没有症状。粪便标本用于识别特定的病原体。文中介绍了根据感染病原体不同而有所差异的治疗方法。对患者进行教育，尤其是在卫生方面的教育，对于预防再次感染很重要。
