| description | Objective: to establish the prevalence of intestinal parasitism and malnutrition in kindergarten children from the Avelino Mérida Educational Unit (UEAM) and first-grade students from the Adventist School of Bolivia (CAB). Methodology: The research was descriptive and cross-sectional. The participants included 33 students from the initial course and 33 first-grade students. Coproparasitological samples were taken, and a survey was administered to parents. Results: The prevalence of intestinal parasitism was 51,8% among children aged 5 to 7 years in both educational units, with positive results of 61,9% in UEAM students and 41,7% in CAB students. The identified parasites in the feces of UEAM students were 30,8% Giardia lamblia cysts, 30,8% Entamoeba histolytica cysts, and 38,5% Blastocystis hominis cysts. In CAB students, 60% had Entamoeba histolytica cysts and 40% had Blastocystis hominis cysts. Regarding the nutritional status of the students, both educational units presented malnutrition in 32,6% and 5,8% had undernutrition. In terms of water consumption, 42,9% of UEAM students consumed boiled or bottled water, while 14,3% consumed water from the tap. In contrast, 34,3% of CAB students consumed boiled water, 57,1% from bottled sources, and 2,9% from the tap. Conclusion: There is a higher prevalence of intestinal parasitism among students of the Avelino Mérida Educational Unit |
