Official title: Diagnostics of Intestinal Parasitosis in Inhabitants of Kuyavian-Pomeranian Province in Poland

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of the proposed study is to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic diseases in adults and children. These invasions are included to "dirty hand diseases" (per os invasions), therefore it applies mainly preschool children.

Clinical Trial Description

It is estimated that 75% of the world's population is infected with parasites and although parasitic diseases are mostly observed in the poor tropical and subtropical countries, there are also many diseases caused by parasites in Poland. In Poland, particular attention is paid to the following parasitic diseases closely related to the digestive system: giardiasis, taeniasis (including cysticercosis), ascariasis, cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis, trichinosis, echinococcosis.

Symptoms of such invasions may include: allergic rhinitis of unknown origin, chronic fatigue or food intolerance. Moreover, many of them are asymptotic, therefore the study group will consist of both healthy people and individuals with undiagnosed diseases or/and chronic symptoms. ;
