Parasitic agents causing IPI in a rural teaching hospital
Pavani G, Srividya Y.
Abstract :
Background: Intestinal parasitic infections are a significant problem in developing countries like India. Lack of knowledge of prevalence of parasites in a particular geographical area may lead to misdiagnosis of IPI‘s as appendicitis, and other inflammatory bowel diseases.Materials & methods: . Stool samples were collected and each sample was examined by macroscopic and microscopic examination.Modified Zn stain was performed on samples collected from immunocompromised patients. Results : 11.3% of the samples were positive for parasitic infections. Entamoeba histolytica was the predominant isolate followed by Ancylostoma duodenale. Conclusion : There is increased prevalence of infection with Soil transmitted helminthes (STH) . Periodic treatment of at–risk people and health and hygiene education would reduce transmission of STH. Amoebiais is still the most common type of parasitosis in India.
