“…Prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders has been reported to be higher in age group <20 years from Indian subcontinent. Khan et al, and Beenajad et al, (2015) also observed that around 44% and 49.80% of their study population with gastrointestinal disorders was within 20 years of age 20,21 . The tendency to consume unhygienic and street food, experimentation with different food stuffs and general lower immunity in young population could be the reason for this 20 .…”

Ritu Garg et al, (2017) and MagdiBayoumi et al, (2016) reported prevalence of intestinal parasitic infestation was 36% and 16.22% respectively using saline and iodine mount technique 33,34 , whereas BeenaJad et al, reported prevalence of 7.8% by saline and iodine wet mount 30 . Among helminths Ascaris lumbricoides was the most common parasite isolated in our study, showed positivity of 3.40% (30 samples), followed by Taenia spp (2.39%, 21 samples).…”

“…In the present study intestinal parasitic infection was seen in 368(73%) cases out of total 504 cases. Studies from different parts of India [10][11][12][13][14] and outside India [15][16][17] have reported a prevalence rate of intestinal parasitic infection of 25% to as high as 75%. The prevalence rate of intestinal parasitosis in our study is high and is suggestive of overcrowding, contamination of water, poor sanitation and migration of people to cities greatly favouring transmission of parasitic infection resulting in high endemicity.…”

Background: Intestinal parasitic infection is a global health problem particularly in the developing countries with different prevalence rates in different regions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection in different age groups in the urban population of Chandigarh, India. Materials and Methods: The retrospective study included stool samples 504 in number from human subjects from Chandigarh. Unstained wet saline mount preparations of stool sample were done to detect eggs or larvae and iodine wet mount to detect ova/ cysts of tapeworm, Enterobius, Ascaris, Giardia, Trichuris and Hookworm. Results: A high prevalence rate of intestinal parasitosis (73%) was seen. The age group distribution shows a higher prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection in the young population (age group 21-30 years and 31-40 years). Ascariasis was the most common parasitic infection observed. Conclusion: The present study reveals a high prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection in the study population and calls for long term control measures to improve their sanitary and living conditions.

“…12 Similarly Rajvir singh et al, Beena Jad et al, and Ravish kumar et.al reported positivity as 6.68%, 7.8%, and 8.12% respectively. [13][14][15] Highest parasitic infection is reported by Sucheta et al, Dhruba et al and Rashid et al as 42.14%, 31.2%, and 22.3% respectively. 9,16,17 Maximum positivity in these studies may be due to presence of symptomatic cases in larger number in their study population.…”

Background: Intestinal parasitic infections represent major health problem particularly in tropical countries. Intestinal parasitic infections are closely related to poor sanitation and socioeconomic status. In rural populations these infections are common as most of population belong to low socioeconomic group and also lack proper hygiene. These infestations has implications for child health in terms of physical growth retardation and development. Materials and Methods: This two years prospective study was carried out in Dept. of Microbiology, Rural medical college, (PIMS-DU) Loni. All stool specimens from children (0 -14 years) received in Dept. of Microbiology were included in the study. All stool specimens were subjected to macroscopic and microscopic examination. Both saline wet mount and iodine wet mount were prepared and examined for microscopic features. Results: A total of 460 stool specimens were received during the study period. Males (56.5%) outnumbered females (43.5%) in the present study. Maximum children belonged to age group 1 -5yrs. A total of seven stool specimen showed parasites giving the positivity 1.52%. Commonest intestinal parasite was found to be E. histolytica in our study. We found one case of H. dimunita which is quite uncommon parasite. Conclusions: Intestinal parasitic infestations like amoebiasis, hookworm, ascariasis exertdiverse clinical manifestation such as malnutrition, iron deficiency anemia, intestinal obstruction. Presence of parasitic infections is expected to be high in agricultural rural population. But we found the quite low positivity in our area may be owing to better sanitation awareness and compliance to Government deworming health program.
