【 摘 要 】

The prevalence of intestinal parasites and its epidemiological aspects were studied in individuals of both sexes seen at the Outpatient Service of the Municipal Health Center and São Vicente Public Hospital in São José da Bela Vista (SP) from January 1992 to December 1996. The percentage of parasitic infestation was 44.4%, with the occurrence of protozoa and helminths. The high occurrence of parasitism was attributed to the low socioeconomic and educational level of the population and to the precarious hygiene conditions in their households.
