dc.description.abstract Enterobius vermicularis is the causal agent of enterobiosis, a parasitic infection that primarily affects school-age children. This study aimed to achieve the following objectives due to the limited knowledge about prevalence of parasitic infections in the Córdoba region: to determine the prevalence of E. vermicularis in male and female students attending a rural primary school located in Sierras Chicas, Córdoba province, analyzing perianal and subungual samples; to investigate the correlation between the parasite presence and factors such as sex, age, and classroom; and, to assess the perception of parasitism based on symptoms, signs, and hygienic habits. Perianal samples were collected using the Graham method from a total of 37 students aged between 4 and 11 years old. Additionally, samples of the subungual region contents from both hands were also collected. A survey was conducted to gather information on both hygiene habits and symptoms from each school participant. The prevalence of E. vermicularis on perianal samples was 48.6%. However, no helminth eggs were detected in subungual samples. A correlation was observed between both the parasitic infection and children age. On the other hand, no significant association was observed between hygiene habits, symptoms reported by the students, and the parasitosis presence at the school population. en
dc.description.abstract Enterobius vermicularis causa enterobiosis, una parasitosis que afecta a la población infantil en edad escolar. Ante el escaso conocimiento sobre la prevalencia de parasitismo en Córdoba, se plantearon los siguientes objetivos: determinar la prevalencia de E. vermicularis en alumnos y alumnas de una escuela rural de nivel primario de Sierras Chicas (Córdoba) mediante el análisis de muestras de la región perianal y subungueal; relacionar la presencia del parásito con el sexo, la edad y el aula, así como la percepción del parasitismo por síntomas y/o signos y hábitos higiénicos manifestados. Las muestras de la región perianal fueron tomadas siguiendo el método de Graham a alumnos y alumnas de 4 a 11 años de edad (n= 37). Además, se tomaron muestras del contenido de la región subungueal de ambas manos. Se realizó una encuesta para relevar datos sobre hábitos de higiene y síntomas de cada escolar. La prevalencia de E. vermicularis en las muestras perianales fue del 48,6%. No se hallaron huevos del helminto en las muestras de la región subungueal. Se encontró relación entre el parasitismo y la edad de los niños, sin embargo, no se observó relación entre los hábitos de higiene y los síntomas de cada escolar con la parasitosis. es
