    Objective: In this study, the aim was to investigate theincidence of intestinal parasites in children, demographicfeatures related to parasite positivity, life style featuresand accompanying symptoms.Materials and Methods: Fecal samples from 342 children (49.1% girls, 50.9% boys) attending with differentsymptoms were investigated with native, lugol, trichrome,acid fast, sedimentation and cellophane anal band methodsfor parasite diagnosis.Results: All cases, 29% were preschool age of 1-5 years,45.6% were 6-10 years and 25.4% were 11-18 years old.The incidence of intestinal parasites was 51.2% with themost commonly observed parasites identified as Cryptosporidium spp. (41.1%), Blastocystis spp. (40.6%), andEnterobius vermicularis (21.1%). Settlement area wasdetermined to be a lifestyle feature significant for parasitepositivity (p<0.05).Conclusion: It was concluded that intestinal parasiteswere common among children in Ordu province, due tothe detection of intestinal parasites (51.2%) in more thanhalf of the children constituting the sample in the study. Inline with this, educations should be organized about thetransmission of parasites to children and ways of protection against transmission. Also, regular health check-upsof children must be done.

    Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), risk factors, and co-infection with intestinal parasites in adult patients presenting gastrointestinal complaints. Materials and Methods: The working group of the study consisted of 385 patients with gastrointestinal complaints. A questionnaire including questions aiming to canvass the socio-demographic features, lifestyles, and complaints of the patients was administered to the study population. Cellophane slide method, native-lugol, sedimentation and Modified kinyoun acid-fast methods were used for the diagnosis of parasites in stool, under microscope. The H. pylori antigen was studied in the stool sample taken for the diagnosis of H. pylori.Results: H. pylori positivity was found to be 27.79% in the patients included in the study. 76.6% of those who are positive for H. pylori are women, and the positivity rate was found to be higher at the age of 40 and over (75.7%). The majority of patients with H. pylori positivity expressed being married (73.8%), having middle / low-income (89.7%), having a low educational background (82.2%), living in a village (55.1%), and in a nuclear family (72.2%) (p<0.001). H. pylori positivity was higher in those who used tap water (40.2%) and those who had a vegetable-based diet (75.7%) (p<0.001). The study found a statistically significant correlation between Entamoeba histoloytica and Enterobius vermicularis positivity and H. pylori positivity (p<0.05 p<0.001, respectively). The calculated odds ratio showed that H. pylori positivity was 1.19 times higher in Entamoeba histoloytica positivity and 11.27 times higher in Enterobius vermicularis positivity. Conclusion: Larger and more comprehensive studies should be performed to understand better the epidemiology, clinical effects, treatment, and control of H. pylori co-infection.
