El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la incidencia de parasitosis intestinal en niños menores de 12 años hospitalizados en el Hospital Santa Isabel en los años 2018 al 2020. En el método de estudio, el Área de Investigación de la UTES 06 obtuvo permiso para acceder y revisar la base de datos compartida de análisis de parásitos de pacientes tratados entre años de estudio, y el estudio obtuvo 565 niños con sospecha de parásitos intestinales.
Los resultados obtenidos fueron del 50,8% con algunos tipos de parásitos intestinales. El protozoario más frecuente fue Giardia lamblia (32,6%), mientras que el helminto más frecuente fue Enterobius vermicularis (62,5 %). Se observó una mayor prevalencia de parásitos en niños de 0 a 3 años durante los tres años del estudio. Se encontraron tasas más altas de parásitos en las mujeres durante los tres años del estudio.
