Resumo: Current paper diagnosed intestinal parasites in children and pre-adolescents (0 to 14 years old) and verified their health conditions. The study was carried out in the Igarapé Santa Cruz, municipality of Breves, in the state of Pará, Brazil. A questionnaire was handed out and fecal samples from 250 children were collected. Further, 91.20% of positive cases was detected for at least one parasite species, although 62.72% had polyparasitism. In the case of parasite groups, 70.8% were infected by helminths and 65.6% by protozoa. The most prevalent species were Trichuris trichiura (68.8%), Endolimax nana (48.4%), Ascaris lumbricoides (37.2%) and Entamoeba histolytica/E.dispar (33.6%). Health status revealed that 62.9% had a history of gastrointestinal disease and 18.0% of hospitalization. The most prominent clinical manifestations were abdominal pain, elimination of worms and diarrhea. In view of the state of health and high prevalence of entero-parasitosis, interventions involving control and treatment are mandatory.

Foi desenvolvido no Igarapé Santa Cruz, município de Breves-PA, e consistiu na aplicação de questionário e coleta de amostras fecais de 250 pessoas.

Quanto aos grupos de parasitas, a infecção foi de 70,8% para helmintos, e 65,6% para protozoários. As espécies predominantes foram Trichuris trichiura (68,8%), Endolimax nana (48,4%), Ascaris lumbricoides (37,2%) e Entamoeba histolytica/E.dispar (33,6%). Quanto ao estado de saúde, 62,9% apresentam um histórico de doença gastrointestinal, e 18,0%, de hospitalização. As manifestações clínicas de maior destaque foram dores abdominais, eliminação de vermes e diarreia. Diante do estado de saúde e da alta prevalência de enteroparasitoses, são necessárias intervenções para combate, controle e tratamento.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2021-06-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontextoapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/867810.17765/2176-9206.2021v14n3e8678Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 14 No 3 (2021): jul./set. ; 475-487Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 14 n. 3 (2021): jul./set. ; 475-4872176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporenghttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/8678/6663https://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/8678/6684Copyright (c) 2021 Saúde e Pesquisahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarques, João Raimundo AlvesGutjahr, Ana Lúcia Nunes Braga, Carlos Elias de Souza2022-07-20T12:09:06Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8678Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2022-07-20T12:09:06Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse
