Abstract: (1270 Views)
This study was carried out in 1994-95 and all of the under weight children in 21 villages (447 in number as case and 447 children as control with natural weight) were studied. The results showed that 49.9% of under weight children and 39.2% children with appropriate weight were infected by intestinal parasitic infection. This difference was significant (p<0.01) The amount of infection was roughly the same in boys (45.24%) and girls (44.3%) and the highest percent pf infection was seen among the 3-4 age group. The variation of parasites is more among under weight - children and more types are found among 4-5 years old children as a whole children 44/5% were infected by one or some types of parasites: Giardia lambia 25.5%, E. coli, 13.2% H. nana, 2.3% B.hominis3/55
