摘要

作者等於1981年5月至1984年3月應用玻璃膠帶肛圍擦拭法在宜蘭縣南澳鄉八所國民小學及大同鄉一所國民中學及九所國民小學分別進行12次 及13次晨間蟯蟲檢查 (每3個月檢查一次)。對蟯蟲陽性者給予mebendazole 10 mg或albendazole 400 mg (1次量)進行9次治療，該項治療在下午進行。由研究結果顯示，學童蟯蟲之傳染率在南澳及大同鄉自研究前14.1%及8.3%到研究後分別降至0.4%及1.1%。在比較上，傳染率以9，11或12月較高，6月最低，惟在性別上無顯明差異。由目前研究結果顯示，應用mebendazole每月治療一次，可能為學童蟯蟲病較佳之防治法。

Form may 1981 to March 1984, consecutive surveys with Scotch tape perianal swab for enterobiasis were conducted among school children in 8 primary schools in the Nanao District, also involved were 1 junior high and 8 primary schools from the Tatung District, Ilan County, Northeast Taiwan. Field treatments with mebendazole (10 mg) or albendazole (400 mg) were also conducted following 9 periods of screening for pinworm. Prior to treatment, the infection rates in Nanao and Tatung were 14.1% and 8.3% respectively. These rates were reduced to 0.4% and 1.1% by March 1984, respectively. Throughout the study, significantly higher infection rates were generally found during the months of September, November, and December and lower rates were obtained in June. There was no difference between the infection rates of aboriginal school boys and girls. The results of the present study indicate that monthly chemotherapy is the best method for controlling pinworm infections in these mountainous regions.
