Fréquence des Géo Helminthiases chez les Personnes Diagnostiquées à l'Hôpital Militaire de Garnison de Kin Ouest Badiadingi à Kinshasa en R.D.Congo

Abstract

The Democratic Republic of Congo, an economically weak country located in a humid intertropical zone, has a climate likely to cause the proliferation of geohelminths. The city of Kinshasa in general and the inhabitants who are in the same neighborhood as the Kin West Badiadingi Military Garrison Hospital in particular are not spared from this reality. This is a quantitative study, based on the experimental method that took place in the laboratory and concerned only coprological examinations. The results of the frequency of geohelminthiasis with other pathologies indicate that malaria has the highest frequency, i.e. 192 (50.8%), followed by geohelminthiasis 105 (7.8%), bacterial infections with 37 (9.8%), other parasitic infections of the digestive tract with 28 (7.4%), viral and mycotic infections 16 (4.2%). The sociodemographic results of the diagnosed individuals revealed that male individuals dominated over females, with 29 cases or 58% against 21 cases or 42%. Despite the efforts made to combat geohelminthiasis in Kinshasa, the results of this study showed that these parasitic infections remain a serious public health problem in our study environment.
