Blastocystis hominis has long been described as a non pathogenic protozoan parasite until recently when claims have been made that it can result in pathogenic conditions. Of the 729 stool samples (614 from survey and 115 from pediatric wards) examined, 18.1% of them were found to be positive for one or more intestinal protozoan cyst. The commonest was Giardia intestinalis (8.4%) Followed by Entamoeba coli (7.1%) and Entamoeba histolytica (5.1%) in the normal children without symptoms of diarrhea. When diarrheic stools were examined, the commonest parasite encountered was Giardia (20.4%), followed by E. coli (15.9%) and E. histolytica (9.7%). Blastocystis was observed in 4.4% of the children who had diarrhea and 1.1% among the children taken from the normal population in the rural areas.
人芽囊原虫长期以来一直被描述为一种非致病性原生动物寄生虫，直到最近有说法称它可导致致病情况。在所检查的729份粪便样本（614份来自调查，115份来自儿科病房）中，发现18.1%的样本有一种或多种肠道原生动物囊肿呈阳性。在无腹泻症状的正常儿童中，最常见的是肠贾第虫（8.4%），其次是结肠内阿米巴（7.1%）和溶组织内阿米巴（5.1%）。当检查腹泻粪便时，最常见的寄生虫是贾第虫（20.4%），其次是大肠杆菌（15.9%）和溶组织内阿米巴（9.7%）。在腹泻儿童中，4.4%观察到有人芽囊原虫，在农村地区正常人群的儿童中这一比例为1.1%。
