    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Rising incidence of intestinal parasite infections in the United States.
    • Contributing factor: influx of over 500,000 Southeast Asian refugees.
    • Non-specific and asymptomatic nature of most parasitic infection symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the increasing prevalence of intestinal parasite infections.
    • To highlight diagnostic methods and treatment options.
    • To emphasize the importance of patient education for prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • Stool specimen examination for organism identification.
    • Review of treatment protocols based on identified parasites.
    • Focus on patient hygiene education to prevent reinfection.
