ABSTRACT

Intestinal parasitic disease appears to be an important national health problem in our country. Parasitic infection distribution is related to the socioeconomic status and enviromental factors. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of intestinal parasites among children in the 1-15 age group in the Denizli province. Parasitic infection was observed in 256 (10.2%) out of 2518 children. The highest rate of 31.4% was that of Giardia intestinalis. The rates of Enterobius vermicularis and Blastocystis hominis were found to be 29.6% and 14% respectively.
