Prevalence and intensity of helminthic infections in adults among the ethnic groups in Singapore.

No information is available with regard to the prevalence and intensity of infection with intestinal parasites in relation to the ethnic group, age and sex among the adult population in Singapore. Desowitz et al (1961) surveyed the incidence of intestinal parasites in various communities in the island but observed no clear-cut differences between the different ethnic groups in the various communities. A recent survey of helminthiasis in a paediatric ward in Singapore revealed a significant differences in the prevalence and degree of infection with soil transmitted helminths among children of different ethnic groups and ages (Siak and Kan, 1969). The present survey is carried out to investigate the possible relationship between the prevalence and intensity of infection with intestinal parasites and the ethnic group, age and sex of adults in Singapore.
