Influência do tratamento específico na prevalência de enteroparasitoses e esquistossomose mansônica em escolares do município de Barra de Santo Antônio, AL

Abstract: Resumo De 1.020 estudantes submetidos a exame coproparasitológico (método de Lutz), 938 (92%) apresentaram positividade para pelo menos uma espécie de enteroparasito. Seis meses pós-tratamento, 383 (37,5%) estudantes foram reavaliados e 347 (90,6%) apresentaram exames positivos. Não houve diferença significativa nas prevalências antes e após tratamento específico, entretanto poliparasitismo foi significativamente menor na segunda análise.

“…One of these studies showed the need to establish a health policy focused not only on the diagnosis and specific treatment of infected individuals but also on eliminating sources of infection, while another showed significant reductions in the occurrence of parasites in general (from 30.9% to 10.7%), helminthiasis (from 22.3% to 4.8%), giardiasis (14.5% to 5.5%), and multiple intestinal parasites (13.1% to 0.5%) in children from the city of São Paulo (1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996), which is attributed to increases in family income, maternal education, housing, basic sanitation and access to health services 14,15 . Thus, it is expected that simple health education actions focused on the quilombola population of São Mateus, respect for their culture, their artistic manifestations and social rights, can reflect on a better quality of life for the entire community, especially when a reduction of infection by intestinal parasites is achieved.…”

“…In the city of Barra de Santo Antônio, state of Alagoas, out of a total of 1,020 students examined, 983 (92%) showed positive results for at least one species of parasite; 171 (18.2%) individuals were infected by just one parasite; and 767 (81.8%) presented multiparasitism, harboring up to eight different species. The helminthes most frequently found were Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides and Ancilostomatidae 36 . Similar results were found elsewhere.…”

“…Parasitados Não parasitados n* %* n** %** n* %* n** %** Renda familiar (em salários mínimos) sil, onde o saneamento básico é deficiente, o tratamento dos indivíduos parasitados não resulta em uma diminuição da prevalência desses parasitas 8 . Assim, o correto seria a realização do exame parasitológico, dentro dos crité-rios estabelecidos, assegurando uma proteção individual da saúde e bloqueando o processo de disseminação, uma vez que o indivíduo contaminado é o grande disseminador 9 .…”

“…A falta de controle higiênico de alimentos vendidos por manipuladores de alimentos constitui um importante obstáculo para implementar medidas de controle contra as parasitoses intestinais 2 . No Brasil, apesar da relevância e da atualidade do problema, são poucos os trabalhos avaliando a ocorrência de enteroparasitoses em manipuladores de alimentos.…”
