SUMMARYThis study determined the prevalence of intestinal protozoa in Long Term Residency Institutions for the Elderly (ILPI) in elders, nurses and food handlers, identifying the risk factors associated with the infections. Stool samples taken from the elderly (n = 293), nurses (63) and food handlers (19) were studied. Questionnaires were used with questions related to sociodemographic variables, health, behavior and health characteristics. Stool samples were examined using the techniques of Faust and Ziehl Neelsen, and the prevalence of G. duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., E. histolytica/dispar in the elderly was 4.0%, 1.0% and 0.3% respectively. Nurses and food handlers showed 4.8% and 5.2% positivity only for G. duodenalis, respectively. The origin of the individuals and contact with domestic animals has been associated with infection by G. duodenalis in the elderly, and contact with domestic animals was considered a risk factor for infection. The last stool examinations were related to Cryptosporidium spp.. None of the variables were associated with E. histolytica/dispar. The frequency of hand washing was significantly associated with G. duodenalis among nurses. The frequency of positive samples of G. duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., E. histolytica/dispar showed that ILPIs environments are conducive to this occurring due to contact between the elderly, nurses and food handlers, which are often poorly trained in hygiene procedures and food handling.

“…There are few studies available on the prevalence of enteroparasites in our region at southeast Brazil. The reported data on the prevalence of enteroparasites in Botucatu region at São Paulo State for E. vermicularis, T. trichiura, Taenia sp., and A. lumbricoides are 3.69-10.04, 5.73-17.29, 1.22-1.62, and 6.09-10.39%, respectively (Salata et al 1972;Oliveira et al 1974;Carvalho et al 2006). Studies from other Brazilian regions have shown similar variability on the enteroparasite prevalence depending on the background of sanitary, cultural, and socioeconomic conditions (Carvalho et al 2002;Alves et al 2003;Castro et al 2004;Bencke et al 2006).…”

The association between parasitic infection of the appendix and acute appendicitis has been widely investigated. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the prevalence of parasitic infection of the appendix in a tropical area at southeast Brazil and to assess its possible relation to acute appendicitis in surgically removed appendices. Of the 1,600 appendectomies performed during a 10-year period, 24 (1.5%) were found to have helminths within the appendix. Enterobius vermicularis was observed in 23 of the 24 specimens (95.8%), and Taenia sp. was detected in only one case. Sixteen patients (66.7%) were less than 10 years old; 15 patients were male and nine female; 21 patients were white, and three were nonwhites. Pathologic analysis disclosed acute neutrophilic inflammation in the appendix wall in 12 of the 24 specimens and lymphoid hyperplasia in 10 of the 24 appendices. Gangrenous appendicitis was diagnosed in three cases, and peritonitis was found in 11 of the 24 infected appendices. The results of the present study indicate that E. vermicularis is the commonest worm found in the appendix and that its presence can cause pathologic changes ranging from lymphoid hyperplasia to acute phlegmonous inflammation with life-threatening complications like gangrene and peritonitis.

“…Já aparece, entretanto, em grande número de menores de um ano (6,8%) atingindo o ápice no grupo l <-> 7 anos com mais de 50% dos casos desta helmintíase. Este comportamento acompanha o observado em Botucatu, por Oliveira 6 . A alta freqüência de ancilostomose é tradução da falta de destino adequado dos excretes, e, a ascariodíase, além deste fator, acrescenta a da má higiene individual e alimentar, provavelmente devido ao pouco uso da água.…”
