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.


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.

Study Design


Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
Tests for diagnosis of intestinal parasitic diseases
Feces testing: fresh fecal samples will be used to preparing direct (saline and iodine wet) mounts using supplementary techniques (flotation, sedimentation), as well as temporary mounts (hematoxylin and trichrome staining). Other technique of fresh fecal samples examination will be ParaSys™ A non-preserved stool samples will be stored below -20°C. Defrosted fecal specimen will be subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) - Giardia antigen test (coproantigens)

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Intestinal parasites The fecal samples will be assessed qualitavely in terms of life forms of parasites present in human intestine, i.e.: eggs and larvas of flukes, tapeworms and nematodes, as well as protozoa trophozoites and cysts. 1 day (single evaluation of current samples)
Primary Giardia antigen test Stool test for Giardia lamblia antigen (ELISA kit) 1 day (single evalutaion of all samples through study completion)
