| description | INTRODUCTION: In this study, it was aimed to determine the frequency of Enterobius vermicularis (E.vermicularis) by cellophane-tape method in students in a primary schools in Hatay. METHODS: The research Zülüflühan Hikmet Çankaya Primary School was established on students. Students were asked to paste the cellophane-band into the anal area before taking the toilet and before bathing, and then paste it on the lame. The next day, lames were collected and examined in light microscope at 10X-40X. SPSS Windows 21.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) package program was used for statistical evaluation and values of p<0.05 were accepted as significant.
RESULTS: In the study involving 167 students, 70 girls and 97 boys aged 6-14 years; in 45 (26.8%) of the samples, E.vermicularis was seen. Among the infected students, the number of female students was found to be 16 (22.9%) and the number of male students was found to be 29 (29.9%). This difference was statistically considerable (p<0.05). E.vermicularis was found in 26 (23.4%) of the 111 students surveyed in the 6-10 age group and 19 (33.9%) of 56 students surveyed in the 11-14 age group. Although E.vermicularis incidence age range 11-14 children higher than the 6-10 age group, there wasn't statistically considerable. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Because of the high E.vermicularis rate that we have observed in our study, it was deduced that the schools in our region should be investigated at certain intervals to determine infection, to provide treatments, and to inform students, teachers and parents about the methods of protection against this effect. |
