泰籍勞工腸道寄生蟲流行率調查
Prevalence of Intestinal Parasite Infections in Workers from Thailand
摘要
本研究為80年10月份對入境臺灣的泰籍勞工所做的腸道寄生蟲檢查報告，共有433名外籍勞工接受檢查。經由張氏糞便檢查器（Chang's feces examination apparatus, CFEA）對每位勞工搜集一次糞便檢體，再以修飾性福馬林乙醚濃縮法（modified formalin ether concentration method）去濃縮集卵，以顯微鏡觀察，其結果得到80員染患有腸道寄生蟲，陽性率為18.5％。其中香貓肝吸蟲（Opisthorchis viverrini）患者有36員（8.31％），鉤蟲病患者（hookworm）32員（7.39％），糞小桿線蟲患者（Strongyloides stercoralis）10員（2.30％），蟯蟲病患者（Enterobius vermiclaris）5員（1.15％），蛔蟲病患者（Ascaris lumbricoides）3員（0.67％），阿米巴原蟲者（Amebiasis）1員（0.23％）及梨形鞭毛蟲患者（Giardia lamblia）2員（0.46％）。其中患有2種以上腸道寄生蟲共有10員，佔所有患者12.5％。我們的結果顯示泰籍勞工有相當高的寄生蟲感染率。故對臺灣地區東南亞地方所引進的大量外籍勞工，如何使用更敏感及更有效的方法去偵測及防治其寄生蟲感染，在六年國家建設計劃中是急切需要的。
並列摘要
Four hundred and thirty-three Thai workers in Taiwan were examined for intestinal parasites in October 1991. Eighty stool specimens (18.5%) revealed positive results by a modified formalin ether concentration method. Opisthorchis viverrini (8.31%) was most common, followed by hookworm (7.39%), Strongyloides stercoralis (2.30%), Enterobius vermicularis (1.15%), Ascaris lumbricoides (0.67%), Amebiasis (0.23%), and Giardia lamblia (0.46%). Ten patients (12.5%) were found to be infected with more than one intestinal parasites. Our result showed high infection rates of parasite infections among Thai workers. It is necessary to use sensitive and effective methods to detect parasite infections among the Southeast Asian workers during the process of 6 years national development plans for Taiwan.
