Abstract
La investigación tiene como finalidad, determinar la frecuencia de protozoarios y helmintos en niños, entre uno a cinco años, atendidos en el centro de salud materno “El Milagro”, entre setiembre 2022 y enero del 2023; se evaluaron muestras coproparasitológicas de 389 individuos de ambos sexos, mediante los métodos de examen directo al microscopio y test de Graham; los datos fueron ordenados y tabulados, utilizando programa Microsoft Excel, a los cuales, se le aplicó la prueba de Chi2 empleando el programa estadístico IBM SPSS Statistics v.25; el cual, reporta un 51.4% de casos positivos; donde el enteroparasitismo causado por protozoarios (30.1%) es mayor que el causado por helmintos (4.1%). Las especies parasitarias más frecuentes son Blastocystis spp. (46%), Giardia lamblia (9.5%) y Enterobius vermicularis (8%); asimismo, las asociaciones de Enterobius vermicularis/Blastocystis spp. (14.5%), Blastocystis spp./Giardia lamblia (5.5%) y Blastocystis spp./Entamoeba coli (4.5%), refieren mayor frecuencia y el grupo de 3 años presenta mayor cantidad de casos positivos (69.2%); del mismo modo en relación al sexo, es mayor en el masculino (52.7%), que en el femenino (50%); demostrando que, existe relación entre parasitismo intestinal y grupo etario, no encontrando diferencia significativa en relación al sexo; concluyendo que existe elevada frecuencia de protozoarios y helmintos.
The purpose of the research is to determine the frequency of protozoa and helminths in children, between one and five years old, treated at the “El Milagro” maternal health center, between September 2022 and January 2023; Coproparasitological samples from 389 individuals of both sexes were evaluated using the methods of direct examination under the microscope and Graham's test; The data were organized and tabulated, using the Microsoft Excel program, to which the Chi2 test was applied using the IBM SPSS Statistics v.25 statistical program; which reports 51.4% positive cases; where enteroparasitism caused by protozoans (30.1%) is greater than that caused by helminths (4.1%). The most frequent parasitic species are Blastocystis spp. (46%), Giardia lamblia (9.5%) and Enterobius vermicularis (8%); Likewise, the associations of Enterobius vermicularis/Blastocystis spp. (14.5%), Blastocystis spp./Giardia lamblia (5.5%) and Blastocystis spp./Entamoeba coli (4.5%), report a higher frequency and the 3-year-old group presents a greater number of positive cases (69.2%); Likewise in relation to sex, it is higher in males (52.7%) than in females (50%); demonstrating that there is a relationship between intestinal parasitism and age group, not finding a significant difference in relation to sex; concluding that there is a high frequency of protozoa and helminths.
