Lower income people in the Paterson (N. J.) area have a relatively high incidence of positive findings for parasites. While people in the upper brackets have a much lower ratio of positive findings, the percentage is still significant. The 425 people examined during the test period represented lower, middle and upper income strata. The overall incidence of positive findings was over 20 per cent. This does not mean that 20 per cent of our local population have parasitic infections; it does mean that 20 per cent of the people tested had infestations or infections.
