Intestinal parasites are those which must have an intestinal life- cycle stage
and usually attach in small and large intestine and produces traumatic damage
in the intestinal villi. Parasitic infections caused by protozoa and helminths are
the most common infections worldwide. The prevalence of parasitic infections
varies with the level of sanitation and is highly prevalent among the general
population in Nepal<. The presence study was done to find out the prevalence
of intestinal parasitosis among HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) patients of Dharan
total of 53 sample (<15 years) from HIV seropositive and 28 samples
(<20years) from TB patients were collected in a clean, dry and capped fitted
container and subjected to macroscopic and microscopic examination for ova,
cyst, adult parasites and or segments of parasites. Samples were fixed in 10%
formalin-ether solution. Sedimentation technique along with modified acid
fast (Zeihl-Neelsen) staining method was performed for opportunistic
intestinal parasites in both patients. Multiparasitic infection was noted in the
study. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasites was found to be
54(66.67%) among 81 patients (53 HIV patients and 28 TB patients). The
parasitosis in male was higher 25(30.86%) than female 15(81.51%). The study
preval 18.51% (G. lambia), 14.81% (E. histolytica), 14.81% (Cryptosporidium
pavum), 7.40% (Isosporo beli), 4.93% (Microsporodium), 2.46%
(Hookworm), 2.46% (Taenia spp.), 1.23% (Blastocystctis homini). In order to
prevent this infection appropriate health education should be given to the
patients concerning disease transmission, antiparasitic therapy, personal
hygiene and safe drinking water. |
