ÖZET

Amaç:

Bir toplumda parazit enfeksiyonlarının ortaya çıkması ve yayılmasında yemekhane personelleri önemli bir rol oynar. Bu çalışmada, İran’ın Kazvin şehrindeki yemekhane personellerinde, parazitik bağırsak enfeksiyonlarının prevalansı araştırılmıştır.

Yöntemler:

İran’ın Kazvin şehrindeki yemekhane personellerinden toplam 1530 dışkı örneği toplanmıştır. Parazitleri tespit etmek için;doğrudan dışkı incelemesi ve formalin-etil asetat konsantrasyonu metodunu takiben Trichrome boyama yapılmıştır.

Bulgular:

Örneklerin 82 tanesinde bağırsak paraziti tespit edilmiştir ve yemekhane personellerinde bağırsak paraziti prevalansı %5,4 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Tespit edilen protozoa parazitleri şunlardır: Blastocystis hominis, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba coli ve Endolimax nana. Örneklerde en sık saptanan protozoa paraziti Blastocystis hominis (%2,9) iken, en az saptanan Endolimax nana (%0,3) olmuştur. Örneklerin hiçbirinde helmint enfeksiyonuna rastlanmamıştır. Yemekhane personellerinde bağırsak paraziti prevalansı; cinsiyet, yaş, meslek ve eğitim düzeyine göre değişmezken, intestinal semptomların prevalansı enfekte yemekhane personellerinde daha yüksek saptandı (p<0,05).

Sonuç:

İntestinal parazitlerin insidansı azalsa da protozoa enfeksiyonları halen önemli bir sorun teşkil etmektedir. Bu yüzden, yemekhane çalışanlarının düzenli ve devamlı olarak bölgesel sağlık otoriteleri tarafından izlemi ve eğitilmesi gerekmektedir.
