At 3 mountainous communes of Bao Yen, Van Ban and Than Uyen districts of Lao Cai province, where there are stoned streams and stoned crab. The eating raw-crab rate in population was 39.5%. The rate of Paragonimus metacercaria was 69.6%. 2.149 human stool samples were collected and examined by Kato technique. The result showed that helminthic infection rate was 96.1%, of which the rate of Ascaris, Trichiuris, Hookworm, Paragonimus and Taenia infection was 88.7%, 33.5%, 67.1%, 0.3% and 4.1% respectively. The rate of multi-infection was 70.5%. In the 3 above communes, 722 human sputum samples were examined by direct method, the rate of paragonimiasis was 3.2%

Lung flukes Paragonimus heterotremus is a parasitic disease in which transmit by food, occur in 8 Northern mountainous provinces . The incidence of disease is from 0.3 to 15% on human, from 3.3 to 75% on dogs, from 8.7 to 98.1% on mountain scrab and from 1.4 to 3.6 % on snail. Clinical diagnosis based on mainly symptom such as haemoptysis or fluid pleurisy. Diagnosis definetely that have eggs of lung fluke in sputum, in fluid or in feces. Specific treatment medicine is praziquantel. Prevention of its disease by education communication for people and detective patients ealry then use specific treatment medicine

Vietnam is country with tropical climate, population community's life comform to habits, therefore parasitic infections, fungal infections in foods needed interest particularily. Foods infected helminth, germs through intermediary objects such as shellfishes, crabs, fishes, pigs,... because unhygienic foods infected to human. The author indicate that with contaminated route of helminth, unicell, fungus contaminated through foods, drink water, skin, breath,... depend on helminth's type that they exist and grow in human body and cause different diseases. To limit the contamination of germ, we must sure about food safety

A 3 years pilot study from 1997 to 2000 on the effectiveness of enviromental sanitation and public health education at Quynh Hung commune, Quynh Phu district and Dong Hop commune, Dong Hung district, Thai Binh province showed that: accurate awareness of the people has been improved through the intervention of enviromental sanitation and public health education including no use of fresh dung (70.4%), germ carrying fresh dung (61.2%), proper sanitary tollet (47.9%), the causes of digestive infection were dirty water (68.2%), use of untreated fresh dung (48.5%) and fly 39%. The rate of helminthic egg infection was reduced from 6.4% to 10.6%.

The diseases model of children visited and pediatric in patients at DakLak Provincial Hospital between 1999 and 2001 maily were infections, parasitic diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, especially in perinatal period. Ratio of pediatric inpatients/total of pediatric examination was 20.41%.The average hospitalized days was 6.39. Ratio of pediatric death/total pediatric inpatients accounts for 3.09%, among them 75.48% were children of 0-4 years old. There are significant differences of morbidity rate, hospitalized treatment, and mortality rate between groups according to ICD-10

52 cases of visceral parasitic infestation with eosinophilia were studied at Dong Nai Pediatric Hospital from April 2003 to July 2004. The most common symptoms were abdominal pain, headache, ecchymosis. In addition there were other manifestation such as at respiratory tract, joints, kidney. The symptoms had suggested visceral parasitic infection in children although there was no eosinophilia. Thus only serological examination was recommended

A portion of 652bp of mitochondrial-encoded cob gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from different Taenia sp samples (tspVN1-10) of different forms of adult, cysticercus isolated in Vietnam. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of Vietnamese Taenia sp samples were comparatively aligned with the known corresponding sequences of other Taenia species in GenBank. Results showed that TspVN1-3 is Taenia asiatica, TspVn4-6 is Taenia saginata, and TspVN7-10 is Taenia solium. The Vietnamese T.solium is clustered with the Asian T.solium species, while the Vietnamese T.asiatica is clustered with Taiwanese and T.saginata together with the Chinese T.saginata isolate

Sparganosis is a parasitic disease which involves various parts of the body including subcutaneous tissues. The breast is a well-known site, though case reports are uncommon. We experienced a case of breast sparganosis which shows serpiginous mixed density lesions on mammography and nonspecific hypoechoic lesions partly connected with each other without surrounding inflammoatory change on ultrasonography.
