Resumo: | Enteric parasitic diseases pose a major health issue in Brazil. Children living in poorer areas are particularly more likely to become infected with parasites, as inadequate living conditions favor dissemination of such parasites. This work aimed to determine prevalence of parasites in stool samples obtained from children and teenagers supported by social services in the city of Sorocaba – São Paulo. Three stool samples were collected from each child enrolled in the study; samples were subjected to spontaneous sedimentation and then analyzed under a microscope. Children (or any close relatives for them responsible) answered a form regarding education level, eating habits, having had previous enteric parasitic diseases and presence of symptoms associated with such diseases. Prevalence of enteric parasitic diseases was 30%, these being caused by Entamoeba coli (20%), Giardia lamblia (2.5%), Iodamoeba butschlii (2.5%) and Urbanorum spp. (5%), no helminths were identified. While there is a likely contamination of children and teenagers via drinking water and food, prevalence of enteric parasitic diseases was lower when compared to other studies found in scientific literature, most likely due to local families being supported by social services. |

As parasitoses intestinais constituem um grave problema de saúde pública no Brasil. Crianças são particularmente vulneráveis a infecção, principalmente nas populações de baixa renda, na qual as condições de habitação promovem ambiente propício à contaminação e disseminação. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi determinar a prevalência de parasitos em amostras de fezes de crianças e adolescentes atendidos em uma ação social na cidade de Sorocaba - SP. Foi realizada a coleta de três amostras de fezes de cada criança; o material foi analisado por técnica de sedimentação espontânea seguida por microscopia. Um questionário foi aplicado para coleta de dados sobre escolaridade, hábitos alimentares, enteroparasitoses anteriores e a presença de sintomas relacionados às parasitoses. A prevalência de enteroparasitoses encontrada foi de 30%, sendo estas ocasionadas pelos protozoários Entamoeba coli (20%), Giardia lamblia (2,5%), Iodamoeba butschlii (2,5%) e Urbanorum spp (5%), não sendo observada infecção por helmintos. Neste estudo foi possível identificar uma provável contaminação de água e alimentos consumidos pelas crianças, porém com baixa frequência de resultados positivos quando comparados com os descritos na literatura geral em consequência da assistência da ação social às crianças e famílias atendidas.Editora Uningá2021-12-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/400410.46311/2318-0579.58.eUJ4004Revista Uningá; Vol. 58 (2021); eUJ4004Revista Uningá; v. 58 (2021); eUJ40042318-057910.46311/ru.v58i0reponame:Revista Uningá (Online)instname:Centro Universitário Uningáinstacron:UNINGAporenghttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/4004/2466https://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/4004/246710.46311/ru.v58i0.4004.g246610.46311/ru.v58i0.4004.g2467Copyright (c) 2021 UNINGÁ JOURNALhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRenosto, IzadoraSanches, Isabella KurokawaFerla, Larissa GuerinoRocha, Gustavo Henrique Oliveira daAndrade Júnior, Isaltino Pereira deBarioni, Éric DiegoOliveira, Rômulo Tadeu Dias de2023-10-20T18:43:58Zoai:ojs.revista.uninga.br:article/4004Revistahttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/indexPUBhttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/oairevistauninga@uninga.edu.br2318-05792318-0579opendoar:2023-10-20T18:43:58Revista Uningá (Online) - Centro Universitário Uningáfalse |
