[Intestinal parasitoses on the basis of own investigations].
In the period 1997-2000 3968 samples were examined. Parasitological material came from 3 174 children and 794 adults. Infection with intestinal protozoan and helminthes was noted in 80.2% of children as well as in 18.5% of adults (to 65 year old) and in 1.3% of patients over 65 year old. Among the children the most often were eggs of Enterobius vermicularis (detected by tongue depressor covered with a transparent adhesive tape) and Giardia lamblia (diagnosed on the detection of coproantigens GSA 65--commercial kits). Every year the detection of G. lamblia in children was the highest in the autumn-winter months what proved the summer infections. E. vermicularis occurred more often than G. lamblia however without the seasonal peaks.
