Intestinal Parasites Co-Infection Among Tuberculosis
Co-infection in co-endemic areas was thought to be strong for
intestinal parasites and
tuberculosis (TB). There are limited epidemiological studies in Ethiopia, however. There are also limited studies. The objective of this study was therefore to provide evidence of a co-infection rate of
intestinal parasites and associated factor in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia among pulmonary
tuberculosis (PTB) patients and their household contacts. In co-endemic areas in developing countries co-infection of tubers and parasite diseases is a significant problem for the public. There are however few studies and fewer reviews on co-infection. Restricted data indicate that most frequent parasite
species in multiple organs concur with Mycobacterium tuberculosis; socio-demographics such as gender and age, specific vulnerable groups such as recipients of renal transplants, patients with maintenance hemodialysis, patients with HIV-positive diseases and refugees, living in or from jointly endemic areas; The risk factors for each other have proven to be pulmonary
tuberculosis and parasite illness.
