Intestinal protozoa (entamoeba histolytica and giardia lamblia)‎ and their effect on some hematological Parameters in al-Manssora Hospitals, Aden, Yemen

Abstract EN

Intestinal protozoa are among the organisms that cause diseases in various countries of the world, especially poor countries.

Six hundred and three stool samples were collected from patients coming to some hospitals in Mansoura District (22 May Hospital, Cuban Hospital, al-Naqeeb Hospital, Al Salam Hospital), and blood samples were taken from 384 patients of both sexes infected with intestinal protozoa (E.

histolytica, Giardia lamblia) and 21 blood samples from non- infected people.

the results of the current study showed that the total infection rate of intestinal protozoa (E.

histolytica, G.

lamblia) was 603/384 (63.68%).

for blood picture tests, a decrease in haemoglobine values and an increase in the total number of white blood cells and eosinophils were observed for the affected people.

the aim of this study is to determine the prevalence rate of E.

histolytica and G.

lamblia and its effect on some hematological parameters in some hospitals in al-Mansoura District of Aden Governorate (Yemen).

we recommend raising the level of health by providing educational programs and paying attention to personal hygiene in order to reduce the incidence of parasites, activate the role of health institutions, and work to combat rodents and insects to cut off the parasite life cycle.
