Abstract:

 

Objective: Parasitic gastroenteritis continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. 
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the frequency of Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia intestinalis and Cryptosporidium 
spp species in diarrhea samples taken from children.
Methods: Between August 2018 and January 2019, 400 stool samples of children suffering from gastroenteritis were 
examined for important intestinal protozoa agents by both direct examination (Native & Lugol iodine) and antigen 
detection tests.
Results: It was determined that G. intestinalis was the most common pathogen (13%). This was followed by 
Cryptosporidium spp (7.75), E. histolytica (4.00%), T. hominis (1.00%). The common complaint in children in this study 
was diarrhea.
Conclusion: E. histolytica, G. intestinalis and Cryptosporidium spp were identified as important pathogens commonly 
seen in Erzurum. Adequate hygienic measures should be taken to reduce the frequency of enteric pathogens. 
Immunological and molecular tests should be done for a better interpretation of the results.
