As amostras de fezes foram analisadas pelo método de Lutz. A positividade foi de 20% (12) para parasitos e/ou comensais intestinais. A prevalência de parasitos e/ou comensais intestinais foram baixos na população estudada em conseqüência de bons hábitos de higiene e tratamento profilático de parasitoses regularmente acompanhadas pelo clínico médico.
