The majority of the children were resident on the Cape Flats or in Mitchell's Plain. Parasites were detected in 46 of the children. Ascaris lumbricoides was found in 8 patients, Trichuris trichiura in 11 and both Ascaris and Trichuris in 20. Giardia lamblia cysts were identified in 8 patients and Enterobius vermicularis was found in one patient.
