Prevalence of Giardia intestinalis and Hymenolepis nana in Afghan refugee population of Mianwali district, Pakistan
Background: Present study aimed to investigate prevalence of Giardia intestinalis and Hymenolepis nana in Afghan refugees visiting Central Health Unit (CHU), Kot Chandana (Mianwali, Northern Punjab) during two years period (February 2007 to December 2009). Methods: A total of 687 stool samples were...

intestinalis and Hymenolepis nana in Afghan refugees visiting Central
Health Unit (CHU), Kot Chandana (Mianwali, Northern Punjab) during two
years period (February 2007 to December 2009). Methods: A total of 687
stool samples were collected from different age groups of both genders.
Samples were processed under sterile conditions after gross
examination. Microscopic examination was done on same day along with
eggs (H. nana), cyst and trophozoites (G. intestinalis) detection after
staining. Results: The prevalence of G. intestinalis was significantly

Samples were processed under sterile conditions after gross

eggs (H. nana), cyst and trophozoites (G. intestinalis) detection after
staining. Results: The prevalence of G. intestinalis was significantly
higher (x2=59.54, p<0.001) than that of H. nana. Females were found
more likely to be infected as compared to males (OR: 1.40, 95%
CI=1.03-1.92). Prevalence of both parasites decreased with age and
highest prevalence was observed in young individuals belonging to 1-15
years of age group (41.8% and 48.7% respectively for H. nana and G.
intestinalis, p<0.001). Abdominal distress (OR: 1.13,
95%CI=0.83-1.53), vomiting (OR: 1.13, 95%CI=1.13-1.81) and rectal
prolapse (OR: 4.26, 95%CI=1.38-13.16) were the gastro-intestinal
clinical symptoms observed in G. intestinalis. Whereas, bloody diarrhea
(OR: 1.56, 95%CI=1.00-2.43) and rectal prolapse (OR: 5.79,
95%CI=1.87-17.91) were associated with H. nana infections. Conclusions:
Intestinal parasitic infections are common among Afghan refugees and
serious preventive measures should be implemented to promote the safety
and healthy lifestyle of these people.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1680-6905</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1729-0503</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1680-6905</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.4314/ahs.v15i2.12</identifier><identifier>PMID: 26124784</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Uganda: Makerere University Medical School</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Afghan Refugee ; Afghanistan - ethnology ; Age Distribution ; Aged ; Animals ; Child ; Child, Preschool ; Diarrhea - epidemiology ; Diarrhea - etiology ; Feces - microbiology ; Female ; Giardia - classification ; Giardia - isolation & purification ; Giardia intestinalis ; Giardiasis - epidemiology ; Humans ; Hymenolepiasis - epidemiology ; Hymenolepis nana ; Hymenolepis nana - isolation & purification ; Incidence ; Infant ; Intestinal Diseases, Parasitic - epidemiology ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Pakistan - epidemiology ; Poverty ; Prevalence ; Punjab ; Rectal Prolapse - epidemiology ; Rectal Prolapse - etiology ; Refugees - statistics & numerical data ; Risk Factors ; Vulnerable Populations ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>African health sciences, 2015-06, Vol.15 (2), p.394-400</ispartof><rights>Copyright 2015 - African Health Sciences</rights><rights>Copyright © Makerere Medical School, Uganda 2015 2015</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-b385t-e26527401f0f75482b0b22d3bc1889b770345693cd57793c19bd04ed6f931f983</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4480483/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4480483/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,723,776,780,881,27901,27902,53766,53768,79169</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26124784$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Haq, Khan Abrar Ul</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Gul, Naz Asma</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Hammad, Hussain Muhammad</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bibi, Yasmeen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bibi, Asma</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Mohsan, Javed</creatorcontrib><title>Prevalence of Giardia intestinalis and Hymenolepis nana in Afghan refugee population of Mianwali district, Pakistan</title><title>African health sciences</title><addtitle>Afr Health Sci</addtitle><description>Background: Present study aimed to investigate prevalence of Giardia
