“…Previous studies from Nepal indicate that sex is not the factor for acquisition of intestinal parasites. 4,11 Much higher prevalence was observed in transgender PLHA. Oral-anal and oral genital contact predisposes homosexuals to infection with enteric pathogens.…”

Backgrounds:Intestinal Parasitic Infection (IPI) plays a vital role in the prognosis of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). Aims and Objectives: In this study, we aimed to measure the prevalence and associated factors of IPI among PLHA and non-HIV patients attending Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital, Teku, Kathmandu. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 193 PLHA and 111 non-HIV patients having either of gastrointestinal disorders. Direct smear, Formalin ethyl acetate sedimentation and Kinyoun's modified acid fast staining methods were applied to detect intestinal parasites from stool samples and CD 4 T-cell counts of PLHA was recorded from ART centre of hospital. Results: The overall prevalence of IPI was found to be 16.12% (19.17% in PLHA and 10.81% in non-HIV subjects). Prevalence was higher in PLHA (p<0.06) in which poly parasitic infection was common (24%) with the protozoa predominating over helminths. CD 4 T-cell counts <200/µl (p<0.06) and diarrhoea (p<0.06) were associated with increased IPI in PLHA. Cryptosporidium parvum was found in 19.05% cases of PLHA having CD 4 T-cell counts <200/µl. Conclusions: The higher prevalence of opportunistic protozoa among PLHA indicates the need of routine parasitic investigation using sensitive methods so that it will be helpful for the proper therapeutic management.

“…Strongyloides species (45%) were the most common helminth found in our study followed by Hookworm (37%). In many studies Ascaris is the most common species followed by hookworm 2,5,6 . The prevalence of Strongyloides species in our area is a notable observation which needs further study regarding sanitation and personal hygiene.…”

Abstract:This study was accomplished on school children with the objective to define the prevalence of intestinal helminth parasites. A total of 3000 of stool samples were randomly collected from children of five schools in Rangeli municipality and were examined by a routine by saline and smear techniques. 83.3% stool samples were infected with helminth parasites. The prevalence rate of intestinal parasites was Ascaris lumbricoides (50.92%); Ancylostoma duodenale (44.56%); Trichuris trichiura (1.96%); Enterobius vermicularis (1.44%); Hymenolepis nana (1.12%). The lack of safe drinking water, food, poverty, unhygienic practices and poor environmental condition were found to be contributing factors in the maintenance of high prevalence rate of intestinal parasites infections. Parasites control programs with hygienic practice and improvement of environmental conditions along with the treatment of infected peoples may be helpful in reducing the burden of helminth intestinal parasites in children. Hygienic conditions benefit people at personal and community level and, ultimately contributes to promoting the health status of people.
