Published: July 2010

Actuality: protozoal diseases and helminthiases are an essential part of infectious diseases. The massive spread of parasitic diseases had been identified in all regions of the world, including in children., number of suffering from parasitic infections exceeds 20 million and has a tendency to increase in Russia. The magnitude of damage to people's health, intestinal helminthiases are among the four leading causes of all diseases.

Material And Methods: under the supervision was a child with mixed-infestation of 7 helminths and parasites: enterobiosis + giardiasis, enterobiosis + ascariasis, ascariasis + trihotsefalez; enterobiosis giardiasis + toxocariasis.

Results: the case is of interest to clinicians and pediatricians in terms of diagnosis, because the helminthiasis was proceeded under the guise of somatic diseases associated with severe visceral injuries. Highlight helminthiasis on the stage of mixed-infestation among several helminths and parasites indicates a lack of pediatricians' alertness on parasitosis.
