Resumo: | Intestinal parasite infection in children from primary school in Florianopolis (SC) – Environmental and health education. Parasite infection remains an important public health problem in many areas around the world as well as in Brazil, and it is frequently associated with poverty and lack of sanitation facilities. A coprological investigation was conducted in children from the primary school Intendente Aricomedes da Silva in Florianopolis, Brazil, in order to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasite infections. Also a series of indoor and outdoor activities were carried out to improve the awareness of students, parents, and school staff about parasite infection. Fecal samples from 101 school children and 5 school adult staff were collected and analyzed from June to December 2006. Thirty-eight individuals (35.8%) were positive for at least one parasite.Ascaris lumbricoides, the most frequent helminth, was prevalent in5.7% of individuals. Entamoeba coli and Endolimax nana were the most prevalent protozoa in this study: 20.7% and 12.3% respectively. Although non pathogenic protozoa species, they indicate oral-fecal contamination. Infected individuals were sent to the Health Unit for treatment. Finally, a meeting with the school community was organized to discuss how to prevent intestinal parasite infections by improving basic hygiene habits and best practice with water, food and environment. |

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a prevalência de enteroparasitoses em crianças que freqüentam a Escola de Educação Básica Intendente Aricomedes da Silva, da rede municipal de ensino, situada no bairro Cachoeira do Bom Jesus em Florianópolis (SC), e desenvolver atividades com as crianças e comunidade visando à prevenção de parasitoses. Durante os meses de junho a dezembro de 2006 foram analisadas amostras fecais de 101 escolares e 5 adultos, das quais 35,8% (38) estavam parasitadas. Os protozoários mais freqüentes foram Entamoeba coli (20,7%) e Endolimax nana (12,3%) que, embora não patogênicos, indicam contaminação por via fecal-oral. Entre os helmintos, o Ascaris lumbricoides teve maior prevalência (5,7%). Os indivíduos positivos foram encaminhados ao Posto de Saúde onde receberam tratamento adequado. Realizou-se aula teórica e saída de campo com as crianças, e palestra com a comunidade escolar e pais dos alunos, visando à educação em saúde e meio ambiente.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2008-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2008v21n4p15710.5007/2175-7925.2008v21n4p157Biotemas; v. 21 n. 4 (2008); 157-1622175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2008v21n4p157/18817Copyright (c) 2008 Jaques Muriel Oliveira Kunz, Abel Silva Vieira, Theopi Varvakis, Guilherme Araújo Gomes, Ana Letícia Rossetto, Orlando José Bernardini, Marilia Sirianni dos Santos Almeida, Maria Márcia Imenes Ishidainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKunz, Jaques Muriel OliveiraVieira, Abel SilvaVarvakis, TheopiGomes, Guilherme AraújoRossetto, Ana LetíciaBernardini, Orlando JoséAlmeida, Marilia Sirianni dos SantosIshida, Maria Márcia Imenes2018-03-07T17:40:51Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/20678Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2018-03-07T17:40:51Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
