Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: In this study, the aim was to investigate theincidence of intestinal parasites in children, demographicfeatures related to parasite positivity, life style featuresand accompanying symptoms.Materials and Methods: Fecal samples from 342 children (49.1% girls, 50.9% boys) attending with differentsymptoms were investigated with native, lugol, trichrome,acid fast, sedimentation and cellophane anal band methodsfor parasite diagnosis.Results: All cases, 29% were preschool age of 1-5 years,45.6% were 6-10 years and 25.4% were 11-18 years old.The incidence of intestinal parasites was 51.2% with themost commonly observed parasites identified as Cryptosporidium spp. (41.1%), Blastocystis spp. (40.6%), andEnterobius vermicularis (21.1%).

Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, çocuklarda bağırsak parazitlerinin görülme sıklığının, parazit pozitifliği ile demografik, yaşam tarzı özellikleri ve eşlik eden semptomlar arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Farklı semptomlarla başvuran 342 çocuğun (%49,1 kız, %50,9 erkek) dışkı örnekleri nativ, lügol, trichrome, asit fast, sedimentasyon ve selofanlı anal bant yöntemleriyle parazit tanısı için incelendi. Bulgular: Olguların % 29'u okul öncesi/1-5 yaş, % 45,6'sı 6-10 yaş ve %25,4'ü 11-18 yaş arasında idi. Bağırsak parazitlerinin görülme sıklığı %51,2 idi ve en sık Cryptosporidium spp. (%41,1), Blastocystis spp. (%40,6) ve Enterobius vermicularis (%21,1) tespit edildi. Yerleşim alanı, parazit pozitifliği açısından önemli bir yaşam tarzı özelliği olarak belirlendi (p
