An observational study in Malnutrition, Child, sponsored by Sohag University. Recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 6 Months to 5 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-04.
Sponsored by Sohag University · Observational
This study aims to estimate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in under-five children with malnutrition.
Malnourished children are vulnerable to IPIs suffering. In contrast, IPIs can contribute considerably to the evolution of undernutrition in the pediatric population, thus creating a potentially lethal cycle/vicious cycle of worsening illness and deteriorating nutritional status so, I will examine stool specimens of those children suffering from malnutrition.
One fecal sample will be collected from each patient in a labelled clean plastic container. Specimens will be immediately transferred to the Medical Parasitology Department laboratory The obtained fecal samples will be both macroscopically and microscopically examined. For microscopic examination, specimens will be examined by direct smear and FECT.
Anthropometric indices will be used for checking the nutritional status of the recruited children.
62 studies on the registry are indexed under Parasitic Diseases; 13 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 100 is below the median of 219 across 21 observational studies indexed under Parasitic Diseases.
