Results: In 683 (5.58%) of fecal samples, parasites were detect-
ed by any method. Number of patients with parasitic infection
were higher in summer (n=208), followed by autumn (n=165),
winter (n=163) and spring (n=147), respectively.
Conclusions: It is thought that parasitic infections involving the
gastrointestinal tract are still important for public health; direct
microscopy alone is not sufficient for the diagnosis, and the
diagnostic possibility can be increased by supporting with im-
munological and molecular methods. It should be kept in mind
that bacterial and viral agents as well as parasitic infectious
agents should be investigated in patients presenting with gas-
trointestinal symptoms especially in summer.
