“…Parasites cause loss of appetite, increased metabolism, intestinal malabsorption, and lesions in the intestinal mucosa that generate protein malnutrition and iron de ciency anemia (Aguilar et al, 2021).Among the parasites that can be transmitted by contaminated water with feces, are protozoa such as Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia intestinalis, Balantidium coli, Cryptosporidium spp, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Isospora belli, microsporidia, and helminths such as Ascaris spp, Trichuris spp, Trichuris spp, Trichuris spp, Ancylostoma spp, and Strongyloides spp. These infections can affect any individual regardless of age and are often followed by diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever (Heredia Martínez, Tovar Meléndez, Gallego Jaramillo & Naranjo García, 2015).The study population of Villa Clarin (Colombia) was selected due to the availability of participation of the individuals analyzed (previous oral authorization of their parents), and the availability of information supply on the sanitary conditions of drinking water supply and basic public services (sewerage, electric service, natural gas supply, latrine supply). This event study was based the reports by Cardona-Arias (2014) on the unfavorable nutritional and sanitary conditions of the observed population and the consequent episodes of anemia.…”

BackgroundThere is limited non-anecdotal literature on the effectiveness of health policies and the prevalence of childhood anemia in rural communities in the Colombian Caribbean region. The objective of the following study is to report a parasitological and hematological episode of 94 children belonging to the child population of Villa Clarín, Colombia, and reinforce the disposable literature of local care reports.Case presentationThis article studies an event of intestinal parasitosis prevalence and anemia in 94 children between 1 and 11 years of age, grouped into three age ranges of 1 to 3 years, 4 to 6 years, and 7 to 11 years of age respectively, from the rural community of Villa Clarín, Colombia. Blood samples were obtained by venipuncture and processed through a complete blood count. The feces were collected by spontaneous evacuation and analyzed using a spontaneous sedimentation technique. The prevalence of intestinal parasitosis was 96.81%. ConclusionsEight of the 91 children in whom intestinal parasites were detected had anemia while 29 were above the normal levels of hemoglobin. An association was found with E. histolytica / dispar, but not with A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura, S. stercolaris, Uncinaria, Taenia sp, H. nana, H. diminuta, G. lamblia, T. hominis or B. hominis. The high prevalence of intestinal parasitosis and the anemia levels indicate deficiencies in environmental sanitation and hygienic-sanitary measures.
