In this survey, the author tried to figure out the infection rate and distribution of parasitic infectivity of the primary school children in Hong-Sung Gmi T Chung Cheong Nam Do, Korea.
This survey was carried out from April 2, to June 30, 1967, toward 14,210 school children (male : 7,956, female : 6,254) by means of the polyethylen envelope thick smear method.
And the following results were obtained.
1. The infection rate of parasites was 77.9% (11, 066 out of 14,210) in total.
2. By sex, the infection rate of parasites in male was somewhat higher than that in female, but there was not found distinct difference. Male was 78.2% (6,222 cases) and female .77. 6% (4,844 cases).
3. The infection rates of each parasites were as follows:
Ascaris lumbricoides : 68. 0% (9,669 cases)
Trichocephalus trichiurus : 27. 2% (3,865 cases)
Hook worm : 0.4% (59 cases)
Trichostrongylus orientalis : (5 cases)
Enterovius vermicularis : 0.2% (30 cases)
Taeria sp.: 0.1 % (14 cases)
Clonorchis sinensis : (4 cases)
Paragonimus westermani : (2 cases)
4. By observing different area, coastline area was 72.2%o(3,937 cases) and inland area was 82.8% (7,129 cases).
5. As to the infection rate of multi-infection, they are as follows;
Single infection : 76.5%. (8,472 cases)
Double infection : 23.2% (2,576 cases)
Triple infection : 0.3% ( 27 cases)
6. As to the infection rate of multifection, the highest infection rate of ascaris lumbricoides and trichocephalus trichiurus as 97.9% (2,513 cases) was observed among the double infection, and then ascaris lumbricoides, trichocephalus trichiurus and enterovius vermicularis as 44.5% (12 cases) was observed among the triple infection.
