- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a main public health problem in Iran with a high incidence rate among children. According to numerous studies in Iranian society, the most commonly affected age group is 1–4 years. At present, we aimed to investigate the pediatric CL among children in Golestan Province in North of Iran.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was run on data existed for 3,371 cases with pediatric cutaneous leishmaniasis based on routinely collected data from the Health System of Golestan Province, Iran, between 2010 and 2017. Data of the study were gathered using two checklists about CL and demographic status from District Health Network. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 18.0).
Results: In general, 3371cases were investigated. The majority of cases were male 1495 (50.9%), lived in the rural area, while the least CL were female 155 (38.7 %), and lived in the urban area. Pediatric cutaneous leishmaniasis had the highest 883 (26.3%), and lowest 186 (5.5%) frequency in 2010 and 2013 years, accordingly. CL was increased from July and reached to maximum in October, then decreased considerably in January. In final, a significant relationship was found between CL cases and years of the survey (p= 0.001).
Conclusion: The most CL cases were found among males and aged 0-5 years. As indicated by different studies, CL in the endemic area of the country (Golestan Province) occurs more often in children, while it commonly happens among adolescents in the central area of the country. Thus, it points to the role of mothers in protecting children through dressing up and sleeping habits in the outdoor environments.- انتشار مقاله: 02-02-1398

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Enterobius vermicularis (formerly Oxyuriasis vermicularis), is a prevalent parasitic infection especially in preschool children worldwide. The present study aimed to explore the prevalence of Oxyuriasis and its influencing factors in kindergartens.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 175 children using multi-stage sampling method in Ali Abad-e-Katoul city- Iran in 2015 year. Data were collected using a three-part demographic questionnaire including personal characteristics, predisposing factor of infection, and clinical symptoms. Possibility of infection was tested by Graham method. Data were also analyzed using SPSS software (version 18). Significant level was also considered significant as <0.05.
Results: The mean age of students was 6.30 ± 0.46 years. In total, 175 samples including 96 (54.9%) female were explored, and 109 (62.3%) of samples were lived in the rural areas. Oxyuriasis prevalence was 34.9% in 61 children. Logistic regression model indicated that rural children had 2.62 times greater chance to infect by Oxyuriasis than children of the urban area (Odds Ratio [OR]: 2.62; Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.17 - 4.83, P<0.05). A history of bruxism increases chance of Oxyuriasis infection 2.02 times than children with no symptom (OR: 2.02; CI: 1.03 - 3.95, P<0.05).
Conclusion: Oxyuriasis vermicularis infection was more prevalent than most of studies conducted in the country (Iran) and in the rural children. Hence, appropriate interventions to reduce the infection especially among rural children through parents education and group treatment in the kindergartens seem likely lucrative.- انتشار مقاله: 06-06-1395
