تعد الإصابة بالطفيليات المعوية من أهم المشكلات الصحية التي تواجه العالم وخاصة البلدان النامية , وتساهم الظروف الاجتماعية والاقتصادية لهذه الدول بالإضافة إلى سوء التغذية وتلوث الغذاء في تفاقم هذه المشكلة، كما أن السبب الرئيسي وراء دراستها هو مدى انتشارها، وتوزيعها الجغرافي وملائمتها لجميع البيئات المختلفة حيث تنتشر بمعدل من 30% الى 60% عالميا.
الهدف من الدراسة: تهدف الدراسة إلى تحديد معدل انتشار أربعة أنواع من الطفيليات المعوية التي تصيب الإنسان في مدينة الخمس وهي Giardia lamblia . Entamoeba histolytica. cryptosporidium parvum. Pin wormsحيث أجريت الدراسة على 769 حالة في مستشفى الخمس التعليمي في الفترة ما بين مارس 2022 إلى أغسطس 2022 . وجمعت بيانات عن 769 حالة حيث كان عدد الذكور 401 حالة (52.14%) و 368 حالة (47.85%) بالنسبة للإناث.
النتائج: أظهرت الدراسة ارتفاع نسبة انتشار الطفيليات المعوية في الفئة العمرية 11 إلى 20 سنة بالمقارنة بالفئات العمرية الأخرى، والنسبة كانت 68.53% في المدن مقارنة 31.46% بالنسبة لسكان الأرياف. لوحظ في هذه الدراسة أربعة أنواع من الطفيليات هي Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Pin worms. and cryptosporidium parvum. ومن النتائج اتضح أن انتشار الطفيليات المعوية مرتبط بالجنس ,حيث كان معدل انتشار G. lamblia أكثر في الذكور عنه في الإناث.
E.histolytica و Pin wormsمتواجدة بكثرة في الإناث أكثر من الذكور ومن إجمالي 769 حالة 93.76% غير مصابين ولم يكتشف أي نوع من الطفيليات المعوية . عموما بالنسية للأطفال والمراهقين أكثر عرضة للإصابة من كبار السن, ويمكن تجنب الإصابة بالطفيليات بالاهتمام بالوضع البيئي والصحي وتوعية أفراد المجتمع بالاهتمام بالنظافة الشخصية والكشف الطبي الدوري والعلاج لمنع انتشار المرض.
Intestinal Parasitic Infections are the most prevalent diseases in the world, predominantly in developing countries. Intestinal parasites are responsible for one of the major health problems like food contamination with socioeconomic effects in the world with a prevalence rate of 30-60%, in developing countries. This study aims determine the prevalence of four intestinal parasites that infect human in Al’khomes, namily Entamoeba histolytic, Giardia lamblia pin worms and cryptosporidium parvum. This study was conducted with 769 patients in the Al-Khoms teaching hospital, Al-khoms, Libya between March 2022 to August 2022. The prevalence rate was 401 (52.14%) for male and 368 (47.85%) for female. The prevalence of intestinal parasites was high in age group of 11-20 years compared to other age groups. The residence of patients lies in both urban (68.53%) and rural (31.46%) areas. In this study, four types of intestinal parasite were detected, namely: Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Pin worms and cryptosporidium parvum. The data on the prevalence of parasites with respect to gender, G. lamblia has more prevalence in male than the females. But E.histolytica and Pin worms presents more in female cases than the male cases. From the participate 769 people, 93.76% of people were healthy and not detected any kind of parasitesites in their intestinal area. Further, with respect to age, children and teenagers had surplus parasites compared to old age groups. These parasites could be prevented by possible grouping of better ecological design and hygiene. Conclusively, the examination of personal hygiene as well as routine medical examination and treatment is strongly recommended in the low socio-economic areas.
