| Popis: | The aim of this study was to describe epi- demiologic characteristics of intestinal protozoan parasites in a population in Karaj, Iran. Out of 2200 patient, 428 stool specimens (19.45 %) were infected with intestinal protozoan parasites. Out of 428 (19.45 %) infected patient with parasite, 366 (16.63) of patients were infected with single parasite and 62 (2.81) were infected with multiple protozoan parasites. The results were shown that maximum infections belonged to Giardia intestinalis, 31.69 % among the patients with multiple infection and 35.48 % among the patients with single infection. Moreover, Entamoeba coli and Blastocystis hominis were the other common parasites. Other protozoan parasites were as follows: Trichomonas hominis, Iodamoeba butschlii and Endolimax nana. Prevalence of Giardia lamblia and E. coli were highest in the B1-12 years age group (P\ 0.05). A significant dif- ference was found between protozoan parasites and gender (P\ 0.05). Our result indicated that intestinal protozoan infections are still a major public health challenge in this area. |
