摘要

Intestinal helminth infection and its effect on vitamin A, retinol and beta-carotene, was studied in 224thin145 children (aged less than 15 years) of Okharpauwa Village Development Committee (VDC) (Nuwakot district) and 79 inhabitants (mainly adults) of Boya VDC (Bhojpur district) subjects living at an altitude of 2000 m. Direct smear techniques in duplicate were applied to detect helminth eggs. The most common helminth detected was Ascaris lumbricoides, followed by Trichuris trichiura in Okharpauwa VDC and by hookworm in Boya VDC, respectively. Mixed helminth infections were relatively low (7.3% in Okharpauwa VDC and 11.1% in Boya VDC). Retinol and beta-carotene were estimated by HPLC. The helminth-egg-positive children of both sexes in Okharpauwa VDC had significantly lower serum retinol concentration than their helminth-egg-negative counterparts (P<0.05). Retinol concentration in helminth-egg-positive children increased after one month of anthelmintic (albendazole) treatment (P<0.05). No significant difference in serum retinol concentration was observed among helminth-egg-positive and -negative inhabitants of Boya VDC (P<0.05). The results suggest that deworming contributes significantly to the prevention of vitamin A deficiency-associated morbidity and mortality among children in these rural communities in Nepal.
