[Clinical and epidemiological aspects of human trichostrongyloidosis].

Abstract

In the course of parazitological investigations in a rural environment, including 2349 subjects, infestation with different helminths was found in 927 persons (39%), i.e. in 49.9% with Ascaris lumbricoides, in 24.1% Trichuris trichiura, in 4.2% Strongyloides stercoralis, in 3.6% Giardia intestinalis, in 2.1% Enterobius vermicularis and in 1.6% Trichostrongylus. There were several cases of associated parasites : Ascaris-Trichuris in 11.1%, Ascaris-Trichostrongylus in 0.2%, Trichostrongylus-Trichuris in 0.3% and other associations in 3% of cases. The patients with trichostrogyliasis were repeatedly examined clinically, radiologically and coproparazitologically throughout the duration of the treatment and after recovery. The treatment consisted of 25 mg Mintezol/kg body weight/day.
