Abstract
Intestinal parasitic infections were investigated in Amman,
Jordan, during the period extending from 2003 until 2005. A total
number of 1280 specimens were included in the study. Entamoeba
histolytica was found to be the most prevalent parasite with an
infection rate of 27.81%.
The highest incidence of this infection was during spring and
summer seasons and at an early age (1-10 years). Helminthic
infections were uncommon during this survey.
