| Summary, etc. | Abstract: <br/><br/>Background: Infection with intestinal parasites is one of the most common neglected tropical diseases in the world. In immune-compromised individuals such as cancer patients, these parasites are recognized as important enteric pathogens and may lead to fatal complications. Cancer patients, in turn, become immune-compromised either as a result of the disease itself or due to therapeutic agents/procedures causing immune-suppression. This study was intended to examine the prevalence of intestinal parasites infection among pediatric patients admitted in oncology wards at Bugando medical centre from January 2015 to December 2020. <br/><br/>Objectives: To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites infection among pediatric patients admitted in oncology wards at Bugando medical centre. <br/><br/>Methodology: This was a retrospective cross section hospital based study which included 385 paediatric patients admitted at oncology department at Bugando medical centre from January 2015 to December 2020. Clinical features and other relevant information was collected using check list data collection tool. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25. <br/><br/>Results: Findings from study show a prevalence rate of 4.9% of intestinal parasites among pediatrics patients admitted at oncology department at Bugando medical centre from January 2015 to December 2020. This prevalence rate is very low. In this study fever was a prominent feature among the patients with an overall rate of 54.5%, followed by abdominal pain, abdominal distention, weight loss 24.4%, loss of appetite 13.8%, nausea and vomiting 13% and diarrhea. <br/><br/>Conclusion: It can be concluded from the results of this study that the prevalence of intestinal parasites among pediatric patients with cancer is low. <br/> |
