Studies of intestinal parasitic infections in these patients are limited. Therefore, the present study was performed to determine the prevalence of these infections in patients on hemodialysis in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">B<\/jats:styled-content>ushehr. In this cross\u2010sectional study, fecal samples have been collected from all hemodialysis patients who were continuously referred from <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">S<\/jats:styled-content>eptember 2011 to <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">S<\/jats:styled-content>eptember 2012 to the dialysis center at <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">B<\/jats:styled-content>ushehr and tested using routine parasitological methods. From a total of 88 patients studied, 25 patients (28.4%) were infected with one or more intestinal parasites. <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content><jats:italic>lastocystis hominis<\/jats:italic> and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content><jats:italic>ntamoeba coli<\/jats:italic> with 13.6% and 6.7% prevalence had the highest prevalence among the patients, respectively. The age group 51\u201370 years had the highest rates of infection. Statistical analysis showed no relationship between sex and the risk of intestinal parasites. Seventeen percent of infected patients showed up with diarrhea and this relationship was statistically significant. Considering the high prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection among hemodialysis patients in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">B<\/jats:styled-content>ushehr and also the high probability of infection in these patients, it is recommended that periodic examinations and screening patients during dialysis and before kidney transplantation should be a part of routine medical
