Abstract

This study was conducted concerning the intestinal protozoa and their effect on the peripheral blood content in ( 194) stool and blood sample ( 113) sample from persons infected with intestinal parasites and ( 81) sample from non infected persons Routine microscopic examination for stool samples was done using normal saline to detect the range of distribution of intestinal protozoan s and the relation of the infection with patients age and sex .The results of the present investigation revealed the occurrence of four intestinal protozoan's in the following percentage of incidence for patients Entamoebahistolytica ( 51.3 % ) . Giardia lambelia ( 29,2%) . Enterobiusvermiclaris ( 11.9%) and Hymenolepis nana ( 7.96%) and all the infections were single the percentage of males infection was higher than that of females infection
( 58.62%) , 55.5% ) with Entamoebahistolytica . Hymenolepis nana respectively . while the percentage of female infection was higher than that of male ( 61.53%, 51.5% ) with Enterobiusvermicularis . Giardia lambelia respectively .The prevalence rate of infection among the first 10 years age was higher than other groups of age . The percentage of infection ( 51.72% ) ,(80.55), ( 69.25%) and ( 77.77%) for the parasites Entamoebahistolytica giardia lambeliaEnterobiusvermicularis and Hymenolepis nana respectively
Statistical analysis by F test and LSD for blood testing ( Hb , RBC count WBC count and total count esmophiles the result appear decrease in the percentage of HB and WBC in the infected groups and significant effect of sex on the rate of HB in infected groups with Entamoebahistolytica and Hymenolepis nana ( P<0.05)The result appear decrease in the rates of RBC count and significant effects were noted in the rate of Esinophiles count in infected groups with Hymenolepis nana and Enterobiusvermicularis
