Intestinal Parasites in Food Handlers Returned from Korea

N. E. Wilks1 AND B. Sonnenberg2
Parasitology Section, Medical Zoology Department, Second Army Area Medical Laboratory, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland

A survey for the presence of intestinal parasitic infections among 287 Korean veteran food handlers is presented. Results show that 140 (48.8 per cent) of these food handlers harbored, without apparent clinical manifestations, intestinal parasites varying from a single species to a mixed infection of as many as five species. The importance of routine multiple stool examinations is emphasized.
