Identification des Parasites Intestinaux isolés chez les Personnes Diagnostiquées à l'Hôpital General de Référence de Makala à Kinshasa en R.D.Congo

Abstract

Intestinal parasites are widespread almost worldwide, and they are in large numbers in many regions, especially in Africa where promiscuity, lack of drinking water and sanitation facilities are felt. Indeed, according to estimates by the World Health Organization, the number of people infested with intestinal parasites is around 3.5 billion, and that of people suffering from parasitic diseases of the digestive tract is approximately 450 million. To produce this article, we used the experimental method that took place in the laboratory and concerned only coprological examinations. The results obtained indicate that more than half of the people diagnosed were parasitized by Ascaris lombricoides, i.e. 58.3%, followed by 30% of people who hosted Entamoeba histolytica and Necator americanus was isolated in 11.7% of the people diagnosed. Despite the efforts made to combat intestinal parasites in Kinshasa, the results of this study showed that these parasites remain a serious public health problem in our study environment.
