Występowanie pasożytów jelitowych u dzieci z zespołem Littlea oraz personelu Sanatorium Rehabilitacyjnego dla Dzieci "Górka" w Busku-Zdroju, z uwzględnieniem morfologicznego badania krwi i poziomu diastazy w moczu

The examination of 240 feces samples from children with Little's syndrom according to Fulleborn's and Rivos' method, and by means of direct and perianal smears showed the infection due to intestinal parasites in 62% of cases; the staff was invaded in 53%. This would suggest an epidemiologic relation between the invasion of children and staff of the Sanatorium. Coprologic examination of children before the admission is recommended as well as periodical coprology in the staff with parallel treatment of the infected persons. The haemoglobin level lower than 70% and the reduction in the red cell count (below 3.5 ml/mm³) were found in 63% of cases with Trichocephalus and in 51% of Enterobius invasion. Eosinophilia occurred in 31% of cases with Trichocephalus and in 19% of cases with Enterobius invasion. In 22% of infected children the urinary diastase level was higher than 64 Wohlgemuth units.
