[The current prevalence of intestinal parasites in Beijing].
Following the requirements of the "National survey on the current status of the major human parasitic diseases", the investigation was conducted in June-October 2002 in 5 districts (counties) of Beijing with a sample of 7912 people. The overall prevalence rate of intestinal parasites was 2.9%, significantly lower than the result from the first survey in 1988-1989 (34.8%) (chi2=3 227.45, P<0.05), revealing that intestinal parasitic infections are not an important risk for people in Beijing Municipality in general.
