Özet:

The aim of this study is to retrospective assess the state of bacterial parasites identified in patients who apply to the Refik Saydam Hifzıhha Center Parasitology Laboratory in Ankara between 2000-2004 and to compare with previous years and other studies. Methods: Nativ-lugol, zinc sulfate swimming, formol-eter breakthrough methods were applied to the 10417 output sample and in suspicious cases trichrome and modified Kinyoun acid-fast coloring methods were used for the purpose of distinguishing diagnosis. One or more parasites have been detected in 1326 (12.73%) of the 10417 examined output samples. Six hundred and twenty-three (5.98) women and 703 (6.75) men found parasites. The most found were Blastocystis hominis (6.60%), Giardia intestinalis (2.75%), Entamoeba coli (2.57%) and Entamoeba histolytica/ dispar (2.51%. Despite the tendency to decline compared to the previous years due to socio-cultural development in the detection of parasites, parasitic diseases are still a major public health problem for our country.
