SUMMARYThe occurrence of the enteroparasites was verified in 279 children (0 to 6 years) of four municipal day cares of Botucatu/SP. Three samples of each child's feces were collected and processed by the methods of Hoffman-Pons-Janner, Faust and Ritchie and subsequent coloration of the fecal smear by the methods of Auramina-O and Ziehl-Neelsen modified for diagnosis of Cryptosporidium sp. and Graham method for diagnosis of Enterobius vermicularis. Of the analyzed children we verified a prevalence of intestinal parasitism in 53.40%, and the most frequent parasite was Giardia duodenalis (26.88%). Significant association was verified among enteroparasitosis, family income, maternal education and age; the lowest enteroparasite frequency occurred in children of families with larger income and higher education. It was observed that G. duodenalis is more prevalent in children from 0 to 4 years and E. vermicularis is more frequent in children between three and four years old. The high enteroparasite prevalence in day cares suggests complex structure in its epidemiology, where factors beyond sanitation should be considered.

SUMMARYThis study determined the prevalence of intestinal protozoa in Long Term Residency Institutions for the Elderly (ILPI) in elders, nurses and food handlers, identifying the risk factors associated with the infections. Stool samples taken from the elderly (n = 293), nurses (63) and food handlers (19) were studied. Questionnaires were used with questions related to sociodemographic variables, health, behavior and health characteristics. Stool samples were examined using the techniques of Faust and Ziehl Neelsen, and the prevalence of G. duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., E. histolytica/dispar in the elderly was 4.0%, 1.0% and 0.3% respectively. Nurses and food handlers showed 4.8% and 5.2% positivity only for G. duodenalis, respectively. The origin of the individuals and contact with domestic animals has been associated with infection by G. duodenalis in the elderly, and contact with domestic animals was considered a risk factor for infection. The last stool examinations were related to Cryptosporidium spp.. None of the variables were associated with E. histolytica/dispar. The frequency of hand washing was significantly associated with G. duodenalis among nurses. The frequency of positive samples of G. duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., E. histolytica/dispar showed that ILPIs environments are conducive to this occurring due to contact between the elderly, nurses and food handlers, which are often poorly trained in hygiene procedures and food handling.

O estudo objetivou analisar a qualidade da água em três escolas públicas na cidade de Macapá-AP. As amostras foram coletadas em três pontos distintos (Caixa d'água, Torneira da Cozinha e Bebedouro) no período de janeiro de 2013. Os parâmetros analisado foram: turbidez, cor, pH, cloro, nitrato, coliformes totais e fecais. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que nem todas as amostras apresentavam-se de acordo com a legislação vigente da portaria 2914/11 do MS. A presença de coliformes totais e fecais foi detectada nos três pontos de coleta da escola Irineu da Gama Paes, assim como o pH, com os valores abaixo do recomendado pela portaria. O parâmetro turbidez nas amostras de água no ponto '1' e '3' da escola Barão do Rio Branco e os pontos '1', '2', e '3' da escola Azevedo Costa obtiveram valores acima do recomendado pelo Ministério da Saúde. A concentração do cloro foi baixa, na maioria dos pontos, apenas os pontos '2' e '3' da escola Azevedo atenderam os valores estabelecidos pela portaria. A concentração de ferro, no ponto '1' da escola Barão do Rio Branco e em todos os pontos da escola Azevedo Costa estava fora do padrão determinado pelo Ministério da Saúde. As concentrações da cor e nitrato atenderam o padrão em todos os pontos das escolas. Concluímos que a água das escolas não atendem os requesitos de potabilidade preconizados pelo Ministério da Saúde através da Portaria nº2914/11 e portanto requerem ações urgentes de adequação da água ofertada às essas comunidades escolares para se evitar danos à saúde de seus usuários. Palavra-chave: água potável, parâmetros de qualidade da água, escola.
