Worms is still a public health problem in tropical countries, including Indonesia. These are health problems caused by parasitic worms in the body.
At first glance there is nothing wrong with Mira, third grade student elementary school in South Jakarta. But somehow, in the Mira class always seemed excited, weakness, and drowsiness. As a result, he was unable to follow the lesson well. After review, it turns out positive Mira worms. The World Bank states that the worms reduce the quality of human resources, especially in developing countries. Based on the results of a survey of diarrhea Ministry of Health of Indonesia in 2002 and 2003, as many as 40 schools in 10 provinces showed that the prevalence of disease which ranges from 2.2 to 96.3 worms per cent.
Meanwhile, a study conducted two years in the New Times Village Elementary Kalibaru, North Jakarta, showed the prevalence of the disease is still at 60 percent. However, the percentage move down in 2010, when a team of researchers conducted a survey last year in elementary Paseban, where only 19 positive children who suffer from intestinal worms.
As for the Pesantren Sunan Tread on Condet numbers, from 360 students, only 9 people who suffer from intestinal worms. “If the research shows many children exposed to worms, then we impose a mass treatment system. But if the result is only a few are suffering from this disease, the treatment given only to the positive, “said Prof. Dr. Saleha Sungkar DAP & E MS from the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of medicine, in” Education Program Hazard Worms in School & Day Alert Worms National 2011 “a few weeks ago in Jakarta.
Worms that often infect humans are roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), whip worm (Trichuris trichiura) and hookworm (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale).
Saleha explained, the worms cause a child to malnutrition, anemia, and decreased intelligence.
“This happens because the worms cause diarrhea, absorb nutrients, vitamins, and blood and cause bleeding in the gut,” says Saleha. As a result, continued Saleha, children experiencing barriers to physical development, intelligence, productivity declines, and decline in endurance so susceptible to other diseases.
A number of worms that cover the intestinal mucosa would even inhibit the absorption of nutrients and vitamins A to facilitate the occurrence of night blindness and blindness in children.
Roundworms can even migrate to other organs, causing intestinal blockage which can lead to death.
The disease is commonly found in areas with poor environmental sanitation conditions and poor personal hygiene, especially attacked the group of children. This is because the worm eggs can develop in soil and small children usually like to play with the soil.
Worm eggs can also infect people, for example when people defecate in the water channel and the pages around the house and eating without washing hands. Moreover, in the slums, many people defecate in the river or in the garden. If feces containing eggs of the worm, river and gardens will be polluted.
“Especially when the river water used for watering gardens planted with vegetables. Worm eggs will stick to the vegetables and be ingested when vegetables are not cooked properly, “the head of Jakarta’s Control of Health Problems Dr Ida Bagus Nyoman Banjar.
Furthermore Banjar said, the symptoms of worms seems to be difficult to detect if the number of worms that nest in the body is still small. Usually the symptoms will arise even if it is a lot of worm larvae that nest in the body.
Each worm eggs also have different ways to enter the body. For example, roundworms are nesting in the body with a number 100-200000 infective egg per day, usually entering through food. Similar to whip worm eggs that have 3000-5000 in the body. The hookworm eggs develop in the body other than through food as well as through the skin.
Worm control efforts as a way to overcome this problem also needs to be encouraged, through public knowledge about worms, modes of transmission, symptoms, and treatment. In addition, environmental sanitation and mass treatment also plays an important role to break the worm’s life cycle.
Not only the government, the private sector too is natural to find the best way on the issue. As performed by Combantrin by organizing educational activities and disseminating the importance of preventive measures and treatment required.
