[Coprological investigation into a group of 268 South East Asia refugees (author's transl)].
A coprological investigation has been carried out on 268 refugees from the South Eastern Asiatic region. They were separated in two groups, one having received no treatment and the other having received a systematic treatment by diphetarsone, 1.-tetramisole and thiabendazole. In the first group, the infestation rate by protozoa (E. histolytica: 3,68 p. 100, G. lamblia: 9,2 p. 100, T. intestinalis: 9,81 p. 100) was lower than by helminths (A. lumbricoides: 17,44 p. 100, Ancylostomidae: 44,17 p. 100 and S. stercoralis: 25,58 p. 100) which were more frequently found. After a systematic treatment, effects on intestinal protozoa remained nearly inexistent. Indeed, the same percentages were found in the second group, whereas antihelmintic drugs were more active particularly on A. lumbricoides (4,94 p. 100) and S. stercolaris (5,49 p. 100). The compiled data have shown a high percentage of ancylostomidae infection which lead the authors to propose the systematic application of the described nematocide therapy.
