“…Nevertheless, the hookworm prevalence was less than 10% although Ascaris and Trichuris infections were considerably prevalent (Table 1) . Similar status has been also reported in some urban slums of developing countries (Bundy et al, 1988;Ferreira et a/.,1994).…”

Abstract:A parasitological examination was conducted on fecal samples collected from 1,547 inhabitants residing in 10 rural and two urban localities including a slum in the Dominican Republic. Seven helminth and seven protozoan species were observed. In the helminthic infections, Trichuris trichiura was commonest with overall prevalence of 48.4%, being followed by Ascaris lumbricoides (prevalence 25.5%) and hookworms (12.9%) , while the prevalence of other helminthic infections was quite low, less than 3% for every species. All of the filariform larvae of hookworms were identified as Necator americanus. The prevalence of major geohelminth infections markedly differed by locality presumably due to the climatic and socioeconomical differences. The prevalence of A. lumbricoides infection showed a peak in the groups of 5-9 or 10-14 years of age in the highly endemic localities, while that of T trichiura and hookworm formed a plateau through the age groups of 5-9, 10-14 and 15-24 years.Entamoeba coli was the most prevalent protozoan being detected in 21.1% of the samples, followed by Giardia intestinalis (5.4%) . The prevalence of protozoan infections was relatively stable among localities, suggesting that contaminated drinking water or foods were the sources of infection.

“…11 Our results are contrary to the results of the studies carried out by Bundy et al in urban slum of Malaysia. 5 Such results can be due to differences in the habits of children in the two study sites. Data analysis regarding the prevalence of parasite in relation to sex is indicative of some sex-linked difference in the pattern of prevalence.…”

“…13 Hasil analisis didapatkan odds ratio (OR) variabel sarana sanitasi (jamban) adalah 5,245 dan merupakan variabel dengan nilai OR terbesar yang artinya sarana sanitasi (jamban) merupakan variabel yang berhubungan sangat erat dengan kejadian kecacingan. 4,10,14 Menurut penelitian Bundhy DA, 14 dan Albonico et al, 1,11 penyakit infeksi kecacingan merupakan penyakit yang dipengaruhi oleh keadaan sanitasi lingkungan terutama sarana pembuangan tinja (jamban). Penyakit infeksi kecacingan ditularkan melalui soil transmitted helminthiasis sehingga pembuangan tinja yang memenuhi syarat serta saniter akan mengurangi risiko kejadian penyakit.…”

AbstrakDi Indonesia, prevalensi kecacingan berada pada kisaran 45% _ 65% dan masih merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang penting. Berbagai cacing yang menginfeksi anak berusia di bawah 12 tahun dengan prevalensi tinggi meliputi Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, dan Enterobius vermicularis. Infeksi cacing perut diduga menyebar melalui sanitasi lingkungan dan higiene perorangan yang buruk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara lingkungan rumah dan kejadian kecacingan pada anak di bawah lima tahun (balita). Penelitian dilaksanakan pada anak balita di Kampung Keputih Kecamatan Sukolilo Surabaya selama bulan Maret -Mei 2010 dengan desain penelitian kasus kontrol terhadap 51 kasus dan 51 kontrol. Pengumpulan data melalui pemeriksaan laboratorium, wawancara, dan observasi. Analisis data dengan uji chi square dan regresi logistik. Prevalensi kejadian kecacingan dengan pemeriksaan tinja pada anak balita adalah 9,8%. Faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian kecacingan pada anak balita adalah keberadaan sarana sanitasi (jamban) (OR = 5,245), kebiasaan buang air besar (BAB) (OR = 4,821), masih adanya lantai tanah (OR = 5,342), kebiasaan cuci tangan setelah BAB (OR = 4,654), dan pengetahuan ibu tentang kecacingan (OR = 2,425). Disarankan untuk pengadaan jamban yang memenuhi syarat kesehatan dan plester rumah, meningkatkan penyuluhan pada orang tua balita dan kader kesehatan tentang kejadian kecacingan.Kata kunci: Lingkungan rumah, kecacingan, anak di bawah lima tahun AbstractIn Indonesia, helminthiasis is still a public health problem due to its prevalence. The prevalence is 45% _ 65%. The species of helminthes whom infecting children under 12 years old are Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, and Enterobius vermicularis. It suspected that infestation of helmint can transmit through lack of environment sanitation and personal hygiene. The objective of research was analyze an association between housing environmental and helminthiasis among students of early childhood age. This research conducted since March until May 2010 with case control design and sample size was 51 subjects for cases and 51 subjects for control. Data analysis used chi square test and logistic regression. The prevalence of helminthiasis with feces examination among the students was 9,8%. The factors associated with helminthiasis were presence of latrines (OR = 5,245), defecation habits (OR = 4,821), type of floor (OR = 5,342), washing hands after defecation (OR = 4,654), and parental knowledge (OR = 2,425). It's appleated to provide a close with good standard of environmental health, making the cement floor, increase knowledge about helminthiasis and the risk factors Key words: Housing environmental, helminthiasis, children under five years old PendahuluanDalam membangun sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang berkualitas terutama pada anak-anak di bawah lima tahun (balita) sebagai penerus bangsa, harus menjadi perhatian serius.
