土壤传播蠕虫（STH）感染仍然是发展中国家的一个公共卫生问题。在社会经济水平较低的农村地区，艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行率特别高。单一或混合性STH感染很少导致死亡，但会影响营养状况，生长，认知发育和人类健康，特别是儿童。目的比较STH感染与未感染儿童的营养状况。方法本横断面研究于2010年6月在北苏门答腊省卡罗区新邦Empat和卡班贾赫分区的3所小学的儿童中进行。粪便检查通过Kato-Katz方法进行，以诊断STH感染。该研究的参与者包括140名感染儿童和141名未感染儿童。营养状况分类基于2000年疾病控制中心的生长图表。所有分类资料采用卡方检验。结果140例儿童蛔虫感染率为8.6%，鞭虫感染率为17.1%，蛔虫与鞭虫混合感染率为74.3%。我们发现，感染STH的儿童中，有轻度至中度营养不良者明显多于未感染组。我们还发现，中度感染强度的轻度至中度营养不良儿童明显多于轻度感染强度的儿童。结论STH感染儿童中有轻、中度营养不良者明显多于未感染组。我们还发现，中度感染强度的轻度至中度营养不良儿童明显多于轻度感染强度的儿童。感染的严重程度越高，营养状况越差。
Background Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a public health problem in developing countries. Their prevalence is particularly high in rural areas with people of low socioeconomic level. A single or mixed STH infection rarely causes death, but can affect nutritional status, growth, cognitive development and human health, especially in children. Objective To compare the nutritional status of STH-infected and uninfected children. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2010 in children from 3 primary schools in the Simpang Empat and Kabanjahe Subdistricts, Karo District, North Sumatera Province. Fecal examinations were done by the Kato-Katz method to diagnose STH infections. Participants of this study consisted of 140 infected children and 141 uninfected children. Nutritional status classification was based on the 2000 Centers for Disease Control growth charts. All categorical data were analyzed by Chi-square test. Results Of 140 infected children, 8.6% were infected with Ascaris lumbricoides, 17.1% with Trichuris trichiura and 74.3% with mixed infections (Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura). We found significantly more STH infected children with mild to moderate malnutrition than the uninfected group. We also found significantly more mildly to moderately malnourished children with moderate infection intensity than mild infection intensity. Conclusion We find significantly more STH infected children with mild to moderate malnutrition than the uninfected group. We also find significantly more mildly to moderately malnourished children with moderate infection intensity than mild infection intensity. Higher severity of infection is associated with lower nutritional status.
