An epidemiological study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of E. vermicularis infestation among children in primary schools and orphanages.
A total of 2,966 children in primary schools and orphanages was examined for E vermicularis by means of cellotape anal swab technique. The purpose of the present studies is to determine the prevalence of enterobiasis among children and to make a comparison with the rate of infestation by survey areas. The result could be summarized as follows
1) The egg positive rate of cellotape anal swab method was 16.3 % out of 2,966 children.
2) The egg positive rate of urban area was 6.9% out of 1,144 children and the egg positive rate of rural area was significantly higher than that of urban area.
3) The egg positive rate of boys and girls were 15.7 out of 1,528 children and 16.9% out of 1.438 children.
4) The egg positive rate of primary schools, orphanages and mental retardation child group was 11.3% (out of 2,412), 32.7% (out of 416) and 55.1´ (out of 138) respectively. There was noted a tendency of decrease in prevalence by increase of the age.
