Abstract EN
A cross-sectional study was conducted in a village in Minutia Governorate, Egypt where the majority of people had individual trenches in the houses for sewage disposal with absence of public sewage system.
Out of 2292 stool samples 47.8% had at least a single infection.
Multiple infections occurred in 14.9%.
Entamoeba histolytica was 20%, E.
coli 10%, Giardia lamblia 10%, Ascaris lumbricoides 27.31%, Hymenolepis nana 2.96%, Schistosoma mansoni 2.45% and Ancylostoma duodenale 2.23%.
Males were significantly infected with S.
mansoni than females.
Younger age groups were significantly infected by H.
nana than older ones.
Working in agriculture was significantly at risk with S.
mansoni and A.
duodenale infections.
On multiple logistic regression analysis, the risk factor most strongly associated with infection was the presence of another infected family member.
