“…The most common detected protozoa were Giardia (21.7%), E. histolytica (20.3%) followed by Cryptosporidium parvum (4.3%) with low prevalence of helminthic infections A. lumbricoides (5%), H. nana (4.3%), T. trichiura (2.2 %) and A. duodenale (1.4%). This agreed with Atwa and Thabet (2016) in Egypt they found that the prevalence of G. lambia was 24.7%, and E. histolytica was 17.5%. Also, Elmonir et al (2021) in urban and rural Egyptian communities among preschool and school children (996) randomly selected reported that the overall gastrointestinal parasites were 46.2%, the great prevalent were E. histolytica (12.7%) and A. lumbricoides (12.7%) followed by E. vermicularis (8.6%), G. lamblia (7.1%), C. parvum (1.5%), and low prevalence for H. nana, and Hookworms with less than 1%.…”

Under-nutrition is one of the major causes of child mortality and morbidity; manifested by protein-energy malnutrition, iodine deficiency disorder, iron deficiency anemia, and vitamin deficiency related problems. Both problems have a great impact on children physical and mental status Intestinal parasites are major health problems in preschool and school aged children in developing countries and further lead to under-nutrition through reduced food intake, mal-absorption, endogenous nutrient loss and anemia related nutritional problem. This study aims to focus on the vicious cycle between malnutrition and intestinal parasites. In this cross sectional study 138 of school children were examined for intestinal parasites and nutritional deficiency.

This study highlighted the prevalence of parasitic infection in type-1 diabetes mellitus children and evaluated the effect of intestinal parasites on fecal calprotectin as a part of innate mucosal immunity. A total of 431 children with gastrointestinal manifestations attended the outpatients clinics, Aboul-Reesh Pediatric Teaching Hospital, Cairo University were randomly selected. Medical sheets were filled out on each patient. Stool samples were collected in labeled covered cartoon boxes and macroscopically examined for adult worms and segments, and microscopically for ova and protozoa by Lugol's io-dine1% smears and formol-ether concentration method, also, MZN was used for Cryptosporidium oocysts. Besides, stool samples were examined for Helicobacter pylori.The results showed that 171/431 (39.67%) were type-1DM (p=0.000) and 260 (60.32%) were nondiabetic used as positive control. The overall intestinal parasitosis was (45.26%), H. pylori was (39.47%), irritable bowel syndrome was (25.78%), inflammatory bowel disease was (3.96%). Treatment of the causative agents diminished the gastrointestinal troubles.
