Aims: Patients receiving intensive cancer therapeutic regimens are subjected to increasing risk for developing infections including intestinal parasites. Changes in epidemiology of parasitic infections are important in those patients as some parasites may lead to prolonged and severe life threatening diarrhea. So, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of intestinal parasites in those patients. Study Design: This is an observational cross-sectional study.
