Entamoeba coli - Opis:
- The authors have examined 31 children from the nursery, out of which 8 children were positive, and 16 employees, out of which 3 persons were positive. They also wanted to examine the family members of positive children and positive employees, however the offer was accepted only by one cleaner´s family (infected with Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis and Entamoeba coli). All the 8 members of this large family except of a cleaner (member of the family 1 = fm 1) and her grandson (fm 4) were without clinical and laboratory findings. They have formed 3 independent families living in 1st category flats. At that time a sewage disposal breakdown took place at the ground floor flat owned by the family number 2, and the flat was flooded by the sewage. All adult members of the families as well as the members of the family number 4 being the friends of family number 2 worked on flat cleaning. As the clinical symptoms showed later, during the prepatent period and just after its burning out (within 73–78 days), laboratory findings in members of the families proved that this event resulted in a heavy family infection equal to a family epidemic of intestinal parasites. The species Ascaris lumbricoides was diagnosed in 8 members (61.5%) of involved families and Giardia intestinalis in 7 members (53.85%). The species Enterobius vermicularis was found in 2 and Etamoeba coli in 1 member of the involved families. The family epidemic proved several times more frequent incidence of Ascaris lumbricoides and Giardia intestinalis than sporadic findings in children and adults. The fact that, after long years of low prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides such a mass infection has happened can be treated as a surprise. And the same concerns Giardia intestinalis. The authors discussed the incidence of Ascaris lumbricoides and Giardia intestinalis and preventive measures taken against them in the population.
