[Enteroparasitosis in nutrition personnel in a general hospital: incidence and value of the repetition of examination].
Four hundred twenty one civil servants of nutritional area of a large hospital were examined by means of three stool specimens, collected at intervals of three days. Positive results increased from 37.14%, when only one of three requested samples was delivered, to 58.38%, when three specimens were examined. About 80% of infected people presented only one or two species of pathologic and/or non-pathologic parasites. Non-pathologic protozoa, mainly Endolimax nana and Entamoeba coli, presented the largest incidence.
