“…Out of the helminths the largest representation was in Ascaris lumbricoides, and of protozoa Cryptosporidium sp. The highest prevalence of protozoan infections was in children of the age category 11 -16 years of age, and helminthic infections in children of the age category 0 -5 years (Juriš et al, 2014). Similarly, in cancer patients has been recorded incidence of opportunistic endoparasitic infections.…”

SummaryExaminations of the set of 2,760 samples of human stools revealed the current epidemiological situation in the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasitoses in Slovakia. Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitic infection was P = 6.81 % out of which the protozoan infections was P = 2.64 % and helminthiases P = 4.17 %, in the representation of endoparasitic species Entamoeba coli, Giardia intestinalis, Blastocystis hominis, Endolimax nana, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and Enterobius vermicularis. The species with the highest proportion from the protozoa was Entamoeba coli (P = 0.79 %) and from the helminths Ascaris lumbricoides (P = 3.73 %). The highest prevalence of protozoan infections (P = 3.27 %) was found in the age group 8 -18 yearly and helminthic infections (P = 5.84 %) in the lowest age group of children at the age of 1 month to 7 years. Almost regularly, there was most frequently infection with Endolimax nana, Giardia intestinalis and Ascaris lumbricoides. By comparison of all age categories, a high statistical signifi cance of differences in the prevalence of helminthiases was found, which most frequently infected children aged from 1 month to 7 years (χ2, p≤ 0.0001). The statistical signifi cance of differences in the incidence of protozoan infections (χ2, p≤ 0.01) and helminthiases (χ2, p≤ 0.0001) was recorded between the compared regions of Slovakia (Western, Central and Eastern Slovakia) with the highest prevalence in the eastern region of Slovakia.

“…The disease caused by Enterobius vermicularis is most common in 5 to 14 years old children (12). In older age groups, the infection rate is lower due to the development of hygienic habits (13). Children at school, especially those engaged in group activities, have higher rates of infection (14).…”

Enterobius vermicularis is an intestinal parasite with a cosmopolitan distribution and the disease which causes (enterobiasis) is one of the most common helminth infection worldwide. According to literature data it affects nearly 1 billion people and is found in various socio-economic groups. Everyone is susceptible to infection, but children are more often affected than adults due to their poorly developed hygiene habits. Patients with enterobiasis are often reinfected which together with the high endurance of the pinworm eggs in the environment contributes to the difficult control of the disease. In recent decades, a number of studies have been conducted on the genotypic characteristics of the nematode, including sequencing, which accumulates data on phylogenetic varieties of the species to improve the diagnosis and control of this infection in humans.The available data reveal influence of E. vermicularis on the local immunity of intestinal mucosa in infected individuals, but these data are scarce and contradictory and do not clarify the significance of this influence on the clinical manifestations of the disease. Additional studies are needed to define the relationship of this effect with the clinical symptoms of the disease.
