Background: Intestinal parasitic infections are a major public health problem of developing countries. World Health Organization estimates one-fourth of world’s population harbors one or more intestinal parasites. Children being major victims. Aim: This study aims at assessing prevalence of parasitic infections among school age [6-12y] .Methods: Fecal samples from 100 child attending Zenhom family health center were examined by direct smear technique and result was correlated with their socioeconomic status and hygienic behavior. And blood samples were taken from each child to detect Hb level. Results: The prevalence of parasitic infections was 46%, E. vermicularis was the commonest parasite (63.9%), followed by G. lamblia(23.9%),followed by E. histolytical (13%). The highest positive rate was found among children of (6-8 year), where boy being slightly higher (50.0%) than girls (42.0%) (P=0.3). (80.4%) of infected children were having anemia. Children of illiterate mothers (74.3%) were more infected than literate ones (30.8%) (P=.001). There were, however, significant association between parasite infections and washing hands habits, nail trimming (P<0.05). Conclusions: Intestinal parasitic infection was found among 46% school children. E. vermicularis was the commonest parasite (63.9%) the children whose having illiterate mothers were liable for infection 2.4 than the children were having literate mothers. Recommendation: Awareness on infectious diseases, improving hygiene, and application of supportive programs for parents to elevate socioeconomic conditions may reduce the burden of infection.
