Abstract

More than half the world's population is affected by intestinal parasites caused by numerous protozoa and helminths. The objective of this research was to elaborate an intervention plan aimed at the prevention of endoparasitoses in children from two to five years. With the methodology focused on the observational study in the assisted population from the analysis of medical records, parasitological exams of stool, reported symptomatology, sanitary conditions of the residences and hygiene habits. As results, the high number of children with positive outcomes for endoparasitoses was observed. Regarding the conclusion, the need for intervention through continuous health/health education is noted, so that the reduction of the contamination index can be made possible by improving the information and the quality of life of the community.
