Although the intestinal parasitosis are known since a long time and be studied since its identification, still constitute a challenge for their diagnosis and treatment. The delineation of the problem coming up in the necessity of investments in research for more accurate diagnosis, for the prompt intervention, to the existing cases and work for the prevention of risk factors that favor the emergence, maintenance and propagation of these agents. The knowledge that the host's immune competence is a limiting factor of parasitic load of various species, stimulated the research considering that the Mannosebinding lectin (MBL), a component of the complement system, is a key protein of the innate immune system, acting in the first line of defense against pathogens because it is considered acute phase. In this study, were colected 221 samples of individuals of both gender and varied ages at three different laboratories, in the period from January to April 2012. The profile of the population of the study are made and the analysis of the association between social and demographic factors with the entero-parasites and evaluated the influence of serum levels of Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) susceptibility of enteroparasitoses, distribution by age group and gender. Established also the comparison between serum concentrations of MBL of groups with identification of parasites. Statistically significant associations were observed when related protozoa E. histolytica and G.lamblia with the serum concentration of the MBL.

Prevalência de enteroparasitoses e anemia e suas correlações com estado nutricional das crianças ribeirinhas do furo do Maracujá - Acará/PA

In recent decades there has been recognition that the actions of disease prevention and promoting healthy lifestyles promoted in the child a full growth and development. Since these actions are only viable means of population studies that the child is inserted. However, these benefits become unmanageable children who live in coastal communities, since these studies are extremely scarce. It is known that anemia and intestinal parasitic infections affect child nutritional status thus hindering the full development. The study include 80 children aged 1-10 years, and a 45 (56%) were female and 35 (44%) were male. We had a high prevalence of intestinal parasites found in all these children. The parasites found were E. histolytica/dispar (36.8%), G. lamblia (31.2%), A. lumbricoides (23.2%), T. trichiura (4.8%), hookworm (2.4%) and passing S. stercoralis (1.6%). There was also a high prevalence of anemia (77.5%), noting that children of 1-5 years of age were the hardest hit. The correlation of anemia and deficiency of serum iron was significant (p = 0.0001), since 91% of children were anemic and iron deficiency. The most surprising about this study was that 72.5% of children were well nourished before both intestinal parasites and anemia. We did not observe almost no studies relating to these variables in children riverside, but only by what we watch and shows the results obtained in a context marked by precarious living conditions.

Prevalência e aspectos epidemiológicos das enteroparasitoses e sua relação com o estado nutricional em crianças residentes no Bairro Beira Rio de Imperatriz, MA em 2011

Intestinal parasites are considered a public health problem, that despite all the advances in technology and medicine, are still strongly incidents today, being able to trigger different consequences to their patients, especially in children, who are in growth phase and development and may have harmed this time delay through the physical, mental and social. Thus, this research aims to understand the prevalence and epidemiology of intestinal parasites and their relation to nutritional status in children living in the neighborhood Beira-Rio, aged 01-10 years, who are accompanied by the Family Health Strategy of that district. Therefore, we analyzed 102 records concerning children attending the Basic Health Unit (BHU), through the care offered by the health team in the period between 2011 and underwent stool testing, hemoglobin and serum iron, beyond measure anthropometric. A prevalence of 60% for intestinal parasites, particularly Ascaris lumbricoides (20%), Giardia lamblia (14%) and Endolimax nana (14%). Regarding sex was not identified significant differences in the prevalence, however, was observed an association between intestinal parasites and serum iron anemia, unlike the analysis of hemoglobin. Nutritional assessment showed that (50.98%) of the children were with adequate nutritional status (eutrophic) and (34.32%) had abnormal underweight and nutritional risk, and of these (57.14%) were parasitized, the alerting for greater attention to this audience because of diseases and complications that may result from this condition. In epidemiology there was a significant relationship between low education and intestinal parasites, as well as disability treatment of water consumed, which reinforces that preventive measures are essential to control the condition, as well as the damage to health, reflect conditions of life to which the community is exposed as inadequate sanitation and poor quality of life, especially for children.
