Background.
The intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) are globally endemic, and they constitute the greatest cause of illness and disease worldwide.
Transmission of IPIs occurs as a result of inadequate sanitation, inaccessibility to potable water, and poor living conditions.
Objectives.
To determine a baseline prevalence of IPIs among children of five years and below at Webuye Health and Demographic Surveillance (HDSS) area in western Kenya.
Methods.
Cross-sectional survey was used to collect data.
Direct saline and formal-ether-sedimentation techniques were used to process the specimens.
Descriptive and inferential statistics such as Chi-square statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results.
A prevalence of 52.3% (417/797) was obtained with the male child slightly more infected than the female (53.5% versus 51%), but this was not significant (χ2=0.482, P>0.05).
Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica were the most common pathogenic IPIs with a prevalence of 26.1% (208/797) and 11.2% (89/797), respectively.
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) were less common with a prevalence of 4.8% (38/797), 3.8% (30/797), and 0.13% (1/797) for Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworms, and Trichuris trichiura, respectively.
Conclusions.
Giardia lamblia and E.
histolytica were the most prevalent pathogenic intestinal protozoa, while STHs were less common.
Community-based health promotion techniques are recommended for controlling these parasites.
