to detect the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection among preschool aged children and to
find out its effect on their nutritional status. Five-hundreds children aged between 2-6 years
were enrolled; a detailed questionnaire, complete clinical and anthropometric assessment as
well as complete stool analysis and blood picture were done. The study revealed that 51.8%
preschool children were infected; Cysts of Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia were
found in 16.8%, and 14.8% respectively. In 1.8% of cases, both cysts were found together.
Ova of Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Ancylostoma duodenale and Hymenolepis
nana were detected in 14%, 3.4%, 5% & 0.2% of cases, respectively. In 0.4% of cases,
ova of A. lumbricoides and E. vermicularis were found together. Mixed infections were found
in 3.6% of children. Significantly lower weight for age z-score (WAZ) and weight for height
z-score (WHZ) were found among infested children compared to non-infested ones (P |
