dc.description.abstractPurpose: The infections caused by intestinal parasites are one of the leading health issues both by means of individuals and society, especially in developing countries. We analyzed stool samples of 54 patients aged 18 to 67, who presented at our emergency department during June 2009 - October 2009 period, for parasitological agents. Methods: Stool samples were examined using native-lugol, trichrome staining and Kinyoun acide fast methods. Entamoeba species (Entamoeba histolytica and/or dispar) were found to be the most common parasites. Results: Of 54 patients' samples 12 (22,2%) were found to be positive for parasites by microscopy, six (11,1%) by Thrichrome painted samples and one by Kinyoun acid fast painted samples. Most common detected parasites were Entemoeba species (Entamoeba histolytica and/or dispar) found in seven samples (12,9%). Seven of the patients found positive by microscopy were female (12,9%), male five (41,7%). The complaints and of all 54 patients were recorded. Malaise and nausea were found to be the most common symptoms in groups both with and without parasites. Conclusion: Parasitological agents have to be recalled in patients presenting to emergency departments with diarrhea as well as bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens.en_US
