Description
Summary:Introduction: Intestinal parasitic infections are transmitted by infections of the digestive tract that cause in the host, especially in children, associated health problems, among which stand out the malnutrition and the delay in the pondo-estatural development. Objective: To determine the influence of risk factors on intestinal parasite infection in school age children of the Francisco Pizarro school of the Recinto Pita in Caluma town of Bolívar Province, in the period from October 2018 to April of 2019. Methodology: Field study, exploratory, descriptive and transversal camp, with qualitative and quantitative modality. The example was obtained by intentional non-probabilistic sampling according to the inclusion and exclusion criterion. For the cue was applied direct scientific observation techniques, surveys and a coproparasitological examination to collect the information. Results: Of a sample of 58 children of school age, 49 were parasitized. Of the parasites found, 53.33% were protozoa and 46.67% were helminths. Blastocystis hominis (85.71%) and Ascaris lumbricoides (51.02%) were the protozoan and the most frequent helminth respectively. The highest of poliparasitism is (87.76%); the presence of monoparasitism for the contrary is low (12.24%). Conclusion: The absence of basic services, lack of water purification, presence of domestic animals, infrequent use of footwear, humidity weather and the poor intervention of health personnel are the risk factors that increase diffusion of intestinal parasitosis problem.
