Resumo: | Intestinal infections caused by protozoa and helminths are considered a major cause of diseases by infectious processes in the world. The present study aims to conduct a survey regarding the recent years of the prevalence of intestinal parasites in school children in various cities in Brazil, identifying which species are most commonly found and the regions that require greater dedication in this area. The analyzed studies showed that the Northern and Northeastern regions presented a higher prevalence of intestinal parasites, however, in the Southeast, results were encouraging with low levels of contamination by parasites compared to all regions in Brazil. As for intestinal parasites, the most common, found in all Brazilian regions, was Ascaris lumbricoides followed by Giardia lamblia. Therefore, one can conclude that the high prevalence of intestinal parasites in children found in some places in Brazil can demonstrate the need for greater care with basic sanitation and personal hygiene, both in households and in the places of study. These data show the importance of conducting educational programs that will develop personal awareness of parents, families and children themselves. |

O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar um levantamento referente aos últimos anos da prevalência de parasitas intestinais em crianças no período escolar de diversas cidades do Brasil, identificando quais as espécies mais encontradas e as regiões que necessitam de maior dedicação nesta área. Por meio dos estudos analisados, verificou-se que as regiões com maior prevalência de parasitas intestinais foram o Norte e Nordeste; entretanto, na região Sudeste os resultados foram animadores, com baixos índices de contaminação por parasitas, comparados com os de todas as regiões do Brasil. Quanto aos parasitas intestinais, os mais comuns encontrados em todas as regiões brasileiras foram o Ascaris lumbricoides e o Giardia lamblia. Portanto, pode-se concluir que a alta prevalência de enteroparasitoses encontrada em crianças de alguns locais do Brasil pode demonstrar a necessidade de maior cuidado com as condições de saneamento básico e higiene pessoal, tanto nos domicílios como nos locais de estudo. Com os dados apresentados, mostrase a importância da realização de programas educativos que venham a desenvolver a consciência pessoal dos pais, familiares e das próprias crianças.Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM2012-07-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/8310.25061/2527-2675/ReBraM/2012.v15i2.83Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM; v. 15 n. 2 (2012): Julho/dezembro; 7-182527-26751415-3580reponame:Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinarinstname:Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)instacron:UNIARAporhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/83/281Menezes, Valesca Francisco PintoMedeiros, Niara da SilvaDani, Carolineinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-03-08T14:22:10Zoai:ojs.revistarebram.com:article/83Revistahttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniaraPRIhttps://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/oairevistauniara@uniara.com||2527-26752527-2675opendoar:2018-03-08T14:22:10Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)false |
