Abstract

Background: Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) can result in high morbidity and mortality, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Intestinal parasitic infections rate among hemodialysis Sudanese patients studied infrequently. Our paper aimed to examine and determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites among hemodialysis Sudanese patients.
Methods: Stool samples were collected from Sudanese patients at a hemodialysis center in Kosti city, White Nile state, Sudan. All stool samples were examined to detect the type of parasites and determine the prevalence using the formol-ether concentration technique and Modified Zeihl Neelsen (ZN) stain technique.
Results: The overall prevalence of Intestinal parasitic infections among hemodialysis using the formol-ether concentration technique and Modified Zeihl Neelsen (ZN) stain technique was (28.6%) and (44.6%) respectively. The total prevalence of parasites detected by formol-ether concentration technique; Giardia lamblia (46.9%), Entamoeba histolytica (12.5%), Entamoeba coli (40.6%), and by modified ZN staining technique; Cryptosporidium species (28%) and Isospora belli (8%). The prevalence of IPIs was higher among males than females (74 vs. 26%, respectively; P>0.05)
Conclusions: Studying the prevalence of IPIs among hemodialysis Sudanese patients, may predict their health status and lead to better diagnosis and treatment. Health education and personal hygiene were recommended to reduce the transmission of parasitic diseases. This is a first descriptive study of IPIs among hemodialysis in the area of study.
