This study determined the prevalence and species type of helminth infestation and associated factors among children attending Princess Marie Louise Children’s Hospital in Accra, Ghana. Children (225) below the age of 10 who have not taken antihelminthic drugs prior to the study period were recruited between May and June 2015. Children or guardians were interviewed using structured questionnaires and fresh stools were collected and processed for helminths species identification using microscopy. Data were analyzed using Stata version 12. Overall helminths infestation prevalence was 17.33% (39/225). The identified species were hookworm (10.22% (23/225)) and 阿斯卡里斯·隆布里德斯（7.11％（16/225））。未观察到双重侵扰。超过4岁（48个月）（AOR = 16.72，95％CI 1.00-279.72）之间观察到显着关联，居住地（AOR = 7.35，95％CI 1.68–32.11），使用厕所后洗手。（0.04，95％CI 0.01-0.20），在儿童指甲上的污垢（7.96，95％CI 1.73–36.65）。这项研究表明，蠕虫寄生虫，钩虫和 阿斯卡里斯·隆布里德斯在参加PMLCH的孩子中。驱虫运动应扩展到发展中国家的儿童医院。SN -2090-0023 UR -https：//doi.org/10.1155/2017/8524985 do -10.1155/2017/2017/8524985 JF-寄生虫研究杂志 -
