title: [Intestinal parasitoses in the Galician population].
abstract: To evaluate the relative importance of the different intestinal parasites in Galicia, we report the results of the investigation of 6,554 samples of feces in the Microbiology Service of the Hospital General de Galicia (Santiago) from 1983 to 1987. The results indicate that the yearly frequency of parasitism has been reduced from 27.8% of the investigated samples en 1983 to 12.1% in 1987. The mean value for the study period was 16.8% (15.6% simple parasitism and 1.2% multiple parasitism). There were no differences in incidence depending on sex. The enteric parasites most commonly found were G. lamblia, T. trichiura, A. lumbricoides and E. coli.
