“…In another study, Jendryczko researched 52 children aged between 3 and 10 years for zinc deficiency. This study mentioned that children infested with G. intestinalis have a decrease in zinc absorption from the gastrointestinal tract which causes zinc deficiencies in children [14]. In conclusion, magnesium could be used as a reliable and fast indicator of both G. intestinalis and E. vermicularis parasites hosted by intestines of children due to the fact that magnesium levels in human serum was found to be significantly low in children who were diagnosed with these parasites, although the level of iron was significantly decreased in patients infected with both G. intestinalis and E. vermicularis.…”

The intestinal parasites are noted to be an important health problem in Turkey as similarly reported in the globe. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in total content of essential elements, namely, zinc, iron, copper, cobalt, magnesium, and selenium, in children infected with intestinal parasites aged between 6 and 12 years inhabiting in Hatay Province, Turkey. These essential elements were measured in the children/patient who was positive for intestinal parasites, Giardia intestinalis and Enterobius vermicularis. Scores were obtained from the positive study group (SG), and their age matched the healthy children control group (CG). Serological levels of zinc, iron, copper, cobalt, magnesium, and selenium were analyzed by Varian Liberty Series II inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES). The mean magnesium concentrations were found to be statistically different at 95% confidence interval level between study groups. As a result of this study, selenium was found to be uncorrelated with all other elements examined; whereas, copper was observed to have statistically significant correlations with cobalt, magnesium, and zinc. In addition, cobalt-magnesium, cobalt-zinc, and magnesium-zinc metal pairs were found to have statistically significant correlations based on study findings.

Background: There are scant evidences between giardiasis and enterobiasis with human mal-absorption of micronutrient. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to found out the changes in the serum zinc, copper, magnesium and vitamin B12 levels in schoolchildren infected with Giardia intestinalis and Enterobius vermicularis. Patients and Methods: This case-control study was carried out among 359 children from aged 6 -12 years old at 8 suburban public schools. Three stool examinations were done using standard techniques for identification parasitic infection. Fifty E. vermicularis and 37 G. lamblia infected individuals were enrolled as study groups. Serum levels of copper, zinc, magnesium were assessed by autoanalyzer and vitamin B12 levels were measured using gamma counter. ANOVA and paired t-test analyses were used to determine the association between infections and trace elements changes. Results: The prevalence of G. intestinalis and E. vermicularis infections were 10.3% and 13.9%, respectively. The serum zinc, copper and magnesium levels showed a significant decrease in individuals infected with G. intestinalis and E. vermicularis (P < 0.05). Mean values of Giardia positive and negative groups for copper 143.65 ± 16.51 and 176.26 ± 17.6 μg/dL, zinc 62.26 ± 16.06 and 80.66 ± 23.58 μg/dL, and magnesium 1.82 ± 0.23 and 2.01 ± 0.16 mg/dL, respectively. Mean values of Enterobius positive and negative groups for copper 145.55 ± 26.84 and 176.26 ± 17.6 μg/dL, zinc 72.7 ± 17.92 and 80.66 ± 23.58 μg/dL and magnesium 1.93 ± 0.11 and 2.01 ± 0.16 mg/dL, respectively. Conclusions:The results showed that giardiasis and enterobiasis decreased serum levels of copper, zinc and magnesium. Further studies are needed to clarify the actual mechanism governing the zinc, copper, magnesium and vitamin B12 giardiasis/enterobiasis interaction.

“…2003; Remm 2006). It is a difficult infection to diagnose efficiently because the eggs are not often seen in faeces, so it is necessary to press sticky cellophane tape over the peri‐anal skin of a child, usually after a night's sleep when the worms have laid their eggs, and examine the tape under a microscope (Celiksoz et al. 2005).…”

This paper: (1) introduces the main species of intestinal worms with particular attention to intestinal nematodes; (2) examines how such worms may affect child growth and nutrition; (3) reviews the biological and epidemiological factors that influence the effects that worms can have on the growth and nutrition of children; (4) considers the many factors that can affect the impact of treatment with anthelmintic drugs; (5) presents the results of a meta‐analysis of studies of the effect of treating worm infections on child growth and nutrition; (6) discusses the results in terms of what is reasonable to expect that deworming alone can achieve; (7) describes some important characteristics of an ideal study of the effects of deworming; and (8) comments on the implications for programmes of recommendations concerning mass deworming.
