There are no studies done in apparentlyhealth children. The purpose of this study was to determine intestinal coccidian prevalence in preschool children attending the S.E.U. Teresade la Parra preschool located in San Felix, Bolivar State, Venezuela. The universe included 109 children, and 73 were included in the study.A spontaneous evacuation fecal sample was collected from each child, preserved in 10% formaldehyde, and analyzed by a formaldehydeethertechnique, and Kinyoun stain. Sixty seven percent of the universe was evaluated (73/109). Eighty seven point seven percent of thechildren were infected by some parasite and/or commensal. Ten enteroparasite species were diagnosed, and Blastocystis hominis (37%) andGiardia lamblia (27.4%) were the most frequent of the protozoa. Among the helminthes, the most common were Ascaris lumbricoides andTrichuris trichiura with 35.6% each. Prevalence of intestinal coccidian was 10.9% and Cryptosporidium spp. was the only one diagnosedin eight cases (10.9%). The infection did not show any age predilection, but there was a gender bias, since 87.5% of those infected werefemales. Only three of the cases (37.5%) with Cryptosporidum spp. had diarrhea. In conclusion, a relative high rate of intestinal coccidiosisin the preschool children evaluated was determined 2010 artículo científico 1317-973X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=199416355012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1994 Revista de la Sociedad Venezolana de Microbiología application/pdf Sociedad Venezolana de Microbiología Revista de la Sociedad Venezolana de Microbiología (República Bolivariana de Venezuela) Num.1 Vol.30 |
