Abstract:
This article describes the preventive measures taken in accordance with paragraph 4 of
the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 121 of 2015 "On the
prevention and anti-epidemic measures of helminthic diseases among the population" and The
annual reports of the Department of Sanitary, Epidemiological and Public Health of the Republic
of Karakalpakstan, Department of Parasitology, on the total number of helminth infections in the
Republic of Karakalpakstan for 2022-2024 and the prevalence of enterobiasis among them, are
presented in special tables and diagrams, comparing them with the results of the survey.
Keywords:
helminthiasis, enterobiasis, prevention, onychophagy, geophagy, invasion,
anthelmintic drug, laboratory.
Helminthiasis is one of the infections that have a pathological effect on the children's div, and
one of their distinctive features is the long-term persistence of the pathogen in the div of a sick
person, which is associated with the long life of this parasite. At the same time, since the patient's
div is under the constant pathogenic influence of the toxic metabolites of parasites, they often
develop allergies, decreased immunity, vitamin deficiency, and poisoning of the digestive system
and other organs. Parasites not only damage the internal organs of the div, but also make the
patient susceptible to other infectious diseases.
According to World Bank estimates, economic losses from intestinal helminthiasis, which often
causes parasitic diseases, rank fourth among the costs of treating all diseases and injuries.
Helminthiasis is the most common parasitic disease in the Republic of Karakalpakstan,
accounting for 90% of all parasitic diseases. The following intestinal helminthiasis are mainly
recorded: enterobiasis, geminolepidosis, ascariasis, trichocephalosis, and echinococcus.
In accordance with paragraph 4 of the Order of the Minister of Health of the Republic of
Uzbekistan "On the prevention of helminthic diseases among the population and anti-epidemic
measures" No. 121 of 2015, preventive examinations for helminthiasis are carried out once a year,
based on planned schedules or epidemic guidelines. One of the comprehensive measures aimed at
preventing enterobiasis and geminolepidosis is to interrupt the transmission mechanism. If, during
a single examination for enterobiasis in a group of children, the number of infected (infected)
individuals is determined to be 15% or higher, this group is re-tested in the laboratory to ensure
100% treatment (use of anthelmintic drugs) and to determine the outcome of recovery.
In the Republic of Karakalpakstan between 2022 and 2024, a total of 1013935 human lobarator
tests were carried out on the subjects of the investigation of the people into helminths. Of these,
the number of children under the age of 14 was 549,666. The total number of cases of
helminthiasis affected was 13,113 and 11,699 among children under the age of 14. The incidence
of enterobiosis in helminthoses showed 8,189 among children with a total of 8,750 and 14 years
of age. General specifications are compared in the table below:

According to the results obtained, enterobiosis in helminthos is considered a common disease, and
copes mainly occur in children under 14 years of age. One of the main reasons for this was
considered to be onychophagy (biting around the nails and unung), geophagy (ingesting minerals
and soil as food) and direct communication with pets, which occurs in children of this age due to
poor development of personal hygiene knowledge.
In conclusion, it should be said that children's health forms the basis of public health indicators.
Therefore, the incidence of children directly affects the economic and political strata of the
country. The main mane that prevents children from contracting helminthoses was considered to
give these children personal hygiene knowledge and encourage them to follow the rules of
personal hygiene. Specialists of the special group, on the basis of a planned schedule, advise
organizations of preschool children and small school-age streamers to provide them with special
hygiene lessons and special multimedia about their types and transmission paths with a clear
knowledge of their age, which we managed to reduce the incidence of helminthosis for some time.
