dc.description.abstractObjective: 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.en_US
