Overview of intestinal parasitosis
In childhood, the body is more susceptible to parasitic infections.

The basic examination method is a coprological examination:


 * the indication is the presence of GIT disorders and eosinophilia (especially people who have traveled somewhere);


 * the examination should be repeated 2-3 times (after 4-7 days) as the parasites have a cyclical occurrence
