OBJECTIVE: To determine the occurrence and risk factors associated with intestinal parasitic infection in pregnant women in a municipality of Minas Gerais, Brazil. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Parasitic exam records of 701 women were retrospectively reviewed for the years 1998-2003, and were linked to a birth outcome dataset for 529 women. Pregnant women submitted one stool sample for testing by the spontaneous sedimentation method of Lutz/HPJ. Risk factors for parasitic infection were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. Record review and data analysis took place during the years 2003-2004. RESULTS: Average maternal age was 24.7 years (range 14-41). 38.9% of the women were infected with at least one parasite. The number of species per woman ranged from to 4. 18.9% were infected with helminths and 25% with protozoa. Helminths included

85. Investigation Ties Parasitic Infections To Fresh Strawberries
    For Release 68-96. Investigation Ties parasitic infections to Fresh Strawberries. The Texas Department of Health (TDH) and the Houston  
    http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/news/b_news93.htm
    
    Extractions: Investigation Ties Parasitic Infections to Fresh Strawberries The Texas Department of Health (TDH) and the Houston Department of Health and Human Services have tied an outbreak of diarrhea in Houston to fresh strawberries and advise Houston residents not to eat fresh strawberries until more information is available about their safety. The diarrhea is caused by cyclospora cayetanensis, a parasite health officials believe is on and possibly inside the strawberries. "We don't have enough information yet to take all fresh strawberries off the shelves, but we don't have enough information to guarantee their safety, either. We need to warn the public of the possible danger," said David R. Smith, M.D., Texas Commissioner of Health. He said TDH investigators are working with growers, wholesalers and retailers to sort out shipment and sales information. "At this point, we don't know how or where the strawberries are being contaminated or how widespread the problem is." Health officials say washing the strawberries thoroughly will not eliminate the parasite if it is inside the fruit.

86. Head Lice
    Factsheet with prevention and treatment strategies.  
    http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/parasitic/lice.html
    
    Extractions: Lice are tiny brown and gray parasites that can cause itching and scratching, especially on areas of the body that are covered with hair (typically the scalp, neck, and behind the ears). If your child's hair is involved, you might be able to see the tiny lice eggs (called "nits"), which look like white grains of sand attached to the hair shafts. It is more common to see nits in a child's hair than it is to see live lice crawling on the scalp. Description: The head louse, Pediculus hu manus capitus though very small (2 mm to 4 mm long), can be seen by the human eye. Lice live among human hairs, draw blood from the skin (although the amount drawn is almost too little to measure), and lay eggs ("nits") on hair shafts, close to the skin surface, where the temperature is perfect for incubation. They have tiny claws on their legs that are adapted for feeding and clinging to hair or clothing. Their bites may cause inflammation and itching, and the y can become infected. Temporarily, lice can live in clothing, bed linens, combs, brushes, and hats that have come in contact with an infested person. Kids and teens are most prone to catching lice because they are likely to share such personal items and because they are often in close physical contact with other infected children. Six to 12 million people are infested with lice each year.

87. Ascariasis
    Factsheet with signs and symptoms, treatment, and tips for prevention.  
    http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/parasitic/ascariasis.html
    
    Extractions: Ascariasis is an intestinal infection caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides . Ascariasis is the most common human infection that is caused by worms in the world. The roundworms range in size from 5.9 to 9.8 inches (15 to 25 centimeters) for adult males and 9.8 to 13.8 inches (25 to 35 centimeters) for adult females. The worms can grow to be as thick as a pencil and can live for 1 to 2 years. Ascariasis is not a common infection in the United States. It occurs in varying prevalence worldwide, with far greater frequency in areas with poor sanitation or crowded living conditions. Ascariasis occurs when worm eggs that are commonly found in soil and human feces are ingested. The eggs can be transmitted from contaminated food, drink, or soil. Although no symptoms may occur, the greater the number of worms involved in the infestation, the more severe a child's symptoms are likely to be. Children are more likely than adults to develop gastrointestinal symptoms because they have smaller intestines and are at greater risk of developing intestinal obstruction. The following symptoms may be seen with mild infestation: More severe infestations can result in more serious signs and symptoms, including:

88. Toxocariasis
    Toxocara are common parasites of dogs and cats. When they infect humans, the illness is called toxocariasis or visceral larva migrans.  
    http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/parasitic/toxocariasis.html
    
    Extractions: Toxocara are common parasites of dogs and cats. When they infect humans, the illness is called toxocariasis (or visceral larva migrans). Toxocariasis usually affects children under age ten. Especially at risk are children who like to put things in their mouths, or those whose families own pet dogs or cats. Symptoms may include fever, cough or wheezing, abdominal pain, enlarged liver or spleen, poor appetite, a rash that sometimes looks like hives, and enlarged lymph nodes ("swollen glands"). Toxocariasis may also affect a child's eyes, causing decreased vision, swelling around the eyes, or a cross-eyed appearance.

89. Toxoplasmosis
    Focus is on the disease in children. Features signs, sypmtoms, prevention, and treatment.  
    http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/parasitic/toxoplasmosis.html
    
    Extractions: Toxoplasmosis is an infection that passes from animals to humans, sometimes without causing any symptoms. When symptoms do appear in children, they vary depending on the child's age and the response of his immune system. Symptoms fall into three basic patterns: 1) congenital toxoplasmosis, where the child becomes infected before birth; 2) toxoplasmosis in an otherwise healthy child; and 3) toxoplasmosis in a child with a weakened immune system. Congenital toxoplasmosis When a pregnant woman catches toxoplasmosis and remains untreated, there is a 10% to 90% chance that she will pass the infection to the developing fetus as congenital toxoplasmosis, depending on the timing of infection. (Symptoms of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women are the same as those in an otherwise healthy child. See below.) While many children born with congenital toxoplasmosis have no symptoms early in infancy, others show clear signs of infection either at birth or within the first month of life. Some are born prematurely, are unusually small at birth, have a fever or swollen glands, and develop jaundice (yellowed skin and eyes caused by abnormal levels of a liver chemical). They are also at high risk for eye damage involving the retina (the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye responsible for sight), resulting in severe vision problems. Some have brain and nervous system abnormalities that cause seizures, limp muscle tone, feeding difficulties, hearing loss, and mental retardation.

90. Pinworm
    Factsheet with cause, symptoms, prevention, and treatment.  
    http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/parasitic/pinworm.html
    
    Extractions: Pinworm is an intestinal infection caused by tiny parasitic worms measuring about 1/2 inch in length (about 1 cm). Other names for a pinworm infection are "seatworm infection," "threadworm infection," "enterobiasis," or "oxyuriasis." Sometimes these worms can actually be seen in the area around a child's rectum or in the stool. They may have the appearance of light-colored threads on the move. Often a person can have a pinworm infection without having any symptoms, but when symptoms are present, the most common one is itching around the rectum. This itching is usually worse at night and is caused by worms migrating to the area around the rectum to lay their eggs. When a child scratches the itchy area, eczema or a bacterial infection around the rectum can result. In girls, pinworm infection can spread to the vagina and cause a vaginal discharge. Description: Pinworm is an intestinal infection by a parasite - a worm called ENTEROBIUS VERMICULARIS . Pinworm infections probably affect about 200 million people across the world, including about 40 million people in the United States and Canada. Of all age groups, school children are most at risk for pinworm infections.

91. Amebiasis
    Includes cause, symptoms, prevention, and treatment.  
    http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/parasitic/amebiasis.html
    
    Extractions: Amebiasis is a disease caused by microscopic parasites such as Entamoeba histolytica that attach to the large intestine. Most of the time these parasites (amoebas) cause no symptoms, but in up to 8% of those infected, the amoebas invade deeply into wall of the intestine. When this happens, symptoms begin, either because the amebic parasites attack the intestines (intestinal amebiasis) or more rarely, spread through the body to affect other organs, especially the liver. A child with intestinal amebiasis may complain of abdominal pain that begins gradually. There may also be diarrhea that is blood-stained or filled with mucus. The child may have eight to 12 bowel movements each day, and he may experience a constant nagging, irritating feeling that he needs to move his bowels. There is fever about one third of the time. In rare cases, amebiasis causes an amebic dysentery , with sudden symptoms of fever, chills, and severe diarrhea. This can lead to dehydration (abnormally low levels of body water). Symptoms can last from a few days to several weeks. When amoebas spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body, they can cause pockets of infection and pus in many different organs. About 1% of the time, they infect the liver, and the condition is called

Student Guide Student Services Support Services Term Times Study of Potential Link Between Parasitic Infection and Learning Abilities The effects of parasitic infection in mice and rats upon their abilities to learn new skills is being studied in a research project at the University of Edinburgh's Division of Biological Sciences Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology. The work, funded for 12 months by the Royal Society with a grant of £9,547, will look at the "trade-offs" necessary for rodents who need to fight infection whilst learning how to find a hidden platform in a water maze.The behaviour of rats and mice affected by parasites will be contrasted with that of control groups of rodents. There are important potential implications of the study relating to children in the Third World, according to grant-holder, Dr Victoria Braithwaite. She explains many children in these countries are suffering from parasitic worm infections. If it is found these chronic conditions affect learning and memory, drug programmes could be introduced before the children reached crucial stages in their education. Research Fellow on the project, intending to find out whether the immune system competes with the body's other resources to the detriment of learning, will be Dr Andrew Read. Comparisons will be made with a research project entitled "Reduced spatial learning in mice infected with the nematode
