摘要：

Background: To measure the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica) infections and associated risk factors among schoolchildren in Dilla town, Gedeo zone Ethiopia.Methods: A total of 501 schoolchildren were recruited by random sampling. Microscopically positive samples for E. histolytica cysts were further characterized using the E. histolytica II antigen detection kit. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were employed to analyze associations between E. histolytica infections, age, sex and study setting.Results: Overall prevalence of E. histolytica was 13.17%. Hand washing before eating, hand washing after defecation, mother's occupation, and awareness about amebiasis were the factors associated with parasite prevalence.Conclusion: Prevalence of E. histolytica in the study population was high. Health promotion campaigns to create awareness about health and hygiene are clearly needed.
