Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of the proposed study is to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic diseases in adults and children. These invasions are included to "dirty hand diseases" (per os invasions), therefore it applies mainly preschool children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It is estimated that 75% of the world's population is infected with parasites and although parasitic diseases are mostly observed in the poor tropical and subtropical countries, there are also many diseases caused by parasites in Poland. In Poland, particular attention is paid to the following parasitic diseases closely related to the digestive system: giardiasis, taeniasis (including cysticercosis), ascariasis, cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis, trichinosis, echinococcosis.

Symptoms of such invasions may include: allergic rhinitis of unknown origin, chronic fatigue or food intolerance. Moreover, many of them are asymptotic, therefore the study group will consist of both healthy people and individuals with undiagnosed diseases or/and chronic symptoms.

Tests for diagnosis of intestinal parasitic diseases

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Feces testing:

1. fresh fecal samples will be used to preparing direct (saline and iodine wet) mounts using supplementary techniques (flotation, sedimentation), as well as temporary mounts (hematoxylin and trichrome staining). Other technique of fresh fecal samples examination will be ParaSys™
2. A non-preserved stool samples will be stored below -20°C. Defrosted fecal specimen will be subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) - Giardia antigen test (coproantigens)
