Abstract
We examined stool specimens of the residents in the emigi·ation camp in Tijuana, Mexico for helminth eggs or protozoan cysts with formalin-ethyl acetate concentration method in February and July 1992. Out of 92 examined samples, number of positive was 49 (53.3%). While number of cumulative positive was 66 (71.7%). Cysts of Entnmoeba coli (29.3%) Giardio lomblia (9.8%), Entamoebo histolytica (7.6%), and eggs of Tqenic app. (6.5) were most frequently observed. Filtered water supply and chemotherapy were required in this camp.
1992년 2월과 7월에 멕시코 티후아나에서 중남미와 멕시코에서 온 이민촌 거주자들의 대변검사를 포르말린 에틸아세테이트 집란법으로 일회 검사하였다. 모두 92명의 피검자중 충란 또는 포낭 양성율은 53.3%. 누적 양성율은 71 7%이었고. 대장아메바(19.3%), 람블편모충(9.8%). 이질아 메바(7.6%)와 유무구조충(6.5%)이 가장 흔히 발견되는 장내 기생충이었다 이 지역에는 오염되지 않은 식수 공급과 적절한 치료가 필요하다.
