Abstract

This study aim to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in a tertiary health institution in the middle belt of Nigeria. Stool samples of six hundred females, consisting of three hundred each of pregnant women and nonpregnant ladies (controls) were collected and screened for intestinal parasites. The stool samples were microscopically examined fresh for trophozoites, ova and cysts of intestinal parasites before being formol-ether concentrated. Concentrated stool specimens were re-examined for ova and cysts of intestinal parasites and modified Zeihl-Nelson stained to identify and oocysts. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection was 33.0%. There was a statistically significant difference (p Keywords: prevalence, intestinal, parasite, pregnancy
在尼日利亚中部地带某三级保健机构产前诊所就诊的孕妇中肠道寄生虫的流行情况
本研究旨在确定在尼日利亚中部地区一家三级卫生机构产前诊所就诊的孕妇肠道寄生虫的患病率。收集了600名女性的粪便样本,其中孕妇和非孕妇各300人(对照组),并对肠道寄生虫进行了筛查。粪便样品在进行甲醛-醚浓缩之前,在显微镜下检查新鲜的滋养体、卵和肠寄生虫囊肿。浓缩粪便标本复查肠寄生虫卵和囊,改良Zeihl-Nelson染色鉴定卵囊。肠道寄生虫感染总患病率为33.0%。关键词:患病率,肠道,寄生虫,妊娠
