摘要

从在卡齐纳州富图阿地方政府区三家医院就诊的儿童中采集的400份粪便样本(76份水样,324份软样)进行了隐孢子虫卵囊检查。通过一份结构化的问卷来确定提高感染流行率的因素。采用甲醚浓度法和改良Ziehl - Neelson染色法检测粪便标本隐孢子虫卵囊。获得的感染总流行率为4%。结果显示,10.5%的水样便和2.5%的软质便含有隐孢子虫卵囊(p < 0.05)。男童感染率(4.9%)高于女童感染率(3.2%),差异无统计学意义(p < 0.05)。在露天场所排便的儿童感染发生率高于使用坑式厕所和厕所的儿童(p < 0.05)。这项研究表明,饮用水源、吃同一盘子里的食物、吃饭前洗手、吃饭前洗水果和蔬菜、上厕所后洗手、与动物接触以及与其他儿童接触对隐孢子虫感染没有影响。关键词:隐孢子虫;免疫活性的;免疫功能不全的;微绒毛。

Cryptosporidium infection among children attending some hospitals in Funtua Local Government Area, Katsina State, Nigeria
Four hundred stool samples (76 watery and 324 soft-formed) obtained from children attending three hospitals in Funtua Local Government Area of Katsina State were examined for Cryptosporidium oocysts. A structured questionnaire was administered to determine the factors that enhance the prevalence of infection. Stool samples were examined for Cryptosporidium oocysts using formol-ether concentration technique and the modified Ziehl Neelson staining technique. The overall prevalence of infection obtained was 4%. The results showed that 10.5% watery stools and 2.5% soft-formed stools contained Cryptosporidium oocysts (p 0.05). More male children were infected (4.9%) than females (3.2%), but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Infection was more prevalent in children who defaecated in open fields than those who used pit latrines and water closets (p>0.05). This study showed that source of drinking water, eating of food served in the same plate, washing of hands prior to eating, washing of fruits and vegetables before eating, washing of hands after use of toilet, contact with animals as well as other children did not influence Cryptosporidium infection.Keywords: Cryptosporidium; immunocompetent; immunocompromised; microvilli.
