Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) and intestinal protozoa infections are categorized as Intestinal Parasitic Infections (IPIs). High-prevalent areas are associated with supportive risk factor including poor hygiene and sanitation. Our study aimed to provide the prevalence among school-aged children in two private elementary schools, Azizi and Muhammadiyah and the schools were also located in the urban area. Descriptively, we provided the overall prevalence of IPIs among school-aged children enrolled 55 students consisting of 23 males and 32 females. Our study found 18.18% students suffered from IPIs, species identification also proved that Ascaris lumbricoides (n=5; 9.1%) was common infection followed by Giardia lamblia (n=4; 7.3%), one non-pathogenic protozoa, Blastocystis hominis, found in one student. Specific intervention including mass deworming and accessible to healthcare is mandatory for population since morbidity and mortality in IPIs infected-student is evident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
