Objective: To find out the scenario of intestinal parasitic infestation in combatants and their
families in the setting of Mid-Western Regional Police Hospital (MWRPH), Nepal. Study
Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: All 2005 patients presented with the complaint of
abdominal pain, diarrhoea, frequent defecation, blood in stool, or black stool from August
2007 to February 2011 were offered a stool examination. About 10g of fresh stool was
collected in a clean, dry bottle. Two slides from each specimen were examined applying …

Abstract
Objective:
To find out the scenario of intestinal parasitic infestation in combatants and their families in the setting of Mid-Western Regional Police Hospital (MWRPH), Nepal.
Study Design:
Cross-sectional study.
Methods:
All 2005 patients presented with the complaint of abdominal pain, diarrhoea, frequent defecation, blood in stool, or black stool from August 2007 to February 2011 were offered a stool examination. About 10g of fresh stool was collected in a clean, dry bottle. Two slides from each specimen were examined applying light microscope in 10 and 40 uvf at Banke, Nepalgunj hospital laboratory.
Result:
Among 2005 patients, 928 (46.28%) were infested with either helminths and/or protozoa. 96% were single infestation. The most common infestation was Ascaris lumbricoides (48.06%) and the second was hook worm (18.97%). Most common protozoal infestations were Entamoeba histolytica (12.92%) and Giardia lamblia (9.49%). Helminthic infestations peaked in cool months and protozoal infestations were rather steady throughout the year.
Conclusion:
Very high parasitic infestation in least developed mid-western Nepal may need urgent public health intervention.
