The Frequency of Intestinal Parasites among Patients in Zliten and Al-KhumsTraining Hospitals

Intestinal parasites in patients admitted to two hospitals were investigated in this study. In this context, the samples were taken from the patients referred to the laboratory department at the Al- Khums Training Hospital and Zliten Training Hospitals. When the hospital records were examined, there were 200 to 300 cases per month in the Al-Khums hospital laboratory and 250 to 400 cases per month in Zliten Hospital. Using the Richard Geiger equation at 95 % confidence level, it was found that the number of representative samples was 150 cases per month. Therefore, we decided to randomly include this number of patients who visited the laboratory each month.
