    The objective of this research was to determine the relationship of intestinal parasitosis and its relationship with anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years old in the Juan Benigno Vela parish of the Ambato. This is a qualitative study of documentary and field type, where 100 blood samples were analyzed to determine hemoglobin levels and fecal samples to identify the presence of intestinal parasites through the Faust flotation technique, for the collection of information surveys were applied to each legal representative of the participant, also anthropometric data was taken from each child. It was possible to determine that 82% of the total child population was parasitized, 56.1% of them had only one type of parasite and 43.9% had more than two parasites. As for pathogenicity, 29.3% had commensal parasites and 70.7% had pathogenic parasites, 83% of them were infected with the chromista species and 16% with protozoa. The most frequent parasites were: Blastocystis sp. 43.41% followed by Entamoeba coli 20.16%, Endolimax nana 18.60% and Giardia lamblia 8.53%. As for the Body Mass Index, 86% of the children had a healthy weight and 5% were underweight; according to the results of the biometry, 68.55% presented normal hemoglobin and 25.2% presented anemia due to low hemoglobin levels. It is concluded that in the parish Juan Benigno Vela there is a high prevalence of parasitosis, but it is not related to anemia and malnutrition

    Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la parroquia Augusto N. Martínez del cantón Ambato

    Infantile intestinal parasitosis negatively affects the proper development of children, especially in growth, nutrition and is reflected in the physical and intellectual capacity of infants. The objective of the project is to establish the relationship between the presence of intestinal parasites and the development of anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age from the Augusto N. Martínez parish in Ambato city. In the selected sample size made up of a cohort of 100 children, 51% male and 49% female, the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis of 71% was evidenced, with 72% of children with pathogenic parasitic species and 28% with commensal parasites, 57% corresponded to protozoa and only 3% to helminths. The most frequent parasitic species was Blastocystis sp with 28%, followed by Endolimax nana 18%, Entamoeba coli 18%, Giardia lamblia 9% and Entamoeba complex 4%, Chilomastix mesnili 2%, Iodamoeba bütschlii 2% were also found, finally, two cases of Hymenolepis nana and one case of Trichuris trichiura. The analysis of fecal samples was carried out by coprological examination and the Faust technique, a blood sample was taken for the assessment of hemoglobin as an indicator of anemia. Through the chi-square it was determined that there is no association between parasitism and the development of anemia and malnutrition in the selected population.

    Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la Parroquia San Bartolomé de Pinllo del cantón Ambato

    Intestinal diseases caused by parasites represent a problem worldwide, with children of school and preschool age being the population most susceptible to parasitic infections is usually due to poor hygiene habits at home, intake of poorly prepared food and water contaminated with fecal remains. The parasitic infections present in infants who are in full development will seriously compromise their state of health, their nutritional status, growth and cognitive development. The purpose of this project seeks to determine parasitosis and its relationship with anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age in the parish of San Bartolomé de Pinllo in the canton of Ambato, for this purpose a total of 100 blood samples were analyzed in order to analyze the concentration of hemoglobin levels, As well as the study of feces samples for the identification and characterization of parasites through direct observation in fresh microscope and through the technique of flotation in zinc sulfate, the data and authorizations were obtained through the application of surveys, assents and informed consents, information was also collected from the anthropometric data of each individual. The parasitic prevalence was determined in 65% of the total population, thus evidencing that the children had at least one parasitic agent in their organism. Blastocystis sp was in parasite prevalent in the samples analyzed with 47%, while in a very small amount Hymenolepis nana was found with 1%, it is important to emphasize that the parasites evidenced mostly belong to the group of protozoa with 98%.

    Intestinal parasitosis is a public health problem worldwide, which currently continues to affect a considerable number of children in developed countries. The objective of this research is to determine the relationship of intestinal parasitosis between anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age at Atahualpa parish, Ambato City. In this study, 100 samples were analyzed, both blood to determine hemoglobin levels, and fecal samples to identify the presence of intestinal parasites through the appropriate technique. Besides, anthropometric data was collected from each child in order to be categorized based on the Body Mass Index. As a result, 36% of the population had only one type of parasite while 35% presented more than two parasites. Additionally, the study shows that 97.71% of parasites are protozoa and 2.29% are helminths. The most frequent parasites were: Blastocystis sp 40% followed by Entamoeba coli 26%, Endolimax nana 15%. Regarding the results of the BMI, it was determined that 79% of children had a healthy weight and 1% were underweight; Regarding the blood results, 55% of the sample presented normal hemoglobin and 33% presented low hemoglobin levels. It can be concluded that there was a high prevalence of parasitism at Atahualpa parish, Ambato City. However, it is not related to anemia and malnutrition
