Methodology: After signing an informed consent form, participants answered a sociodemographic and risk factor questionnaire. Fecal specimens from patients with HIV-infected and uninfected patients were screened for intestinal helminthiasis (IHLs) using coprological methods. Results: A total of 146 patients were recruited, of those 66 were HIV-negative while 80 were HIV-negative patients. Thirty-five patients (12 HIV\/AIDS and 23 non-HIV\/AIDS) had helminthic infections. Hookworms were the most frequently detected helminths among patients living with HIV\/AIDS (13.6%) and HIV-negative patients (17.5%), followed by schistosomiasis (9%) detected among HIV-negative individuals only. Conclusion: Prevalence of helminthiases (HLs) was observed to be relatively lower among HIV-infected than uninfected patients, which is ascribable to prophylactic measures adopted for patients with HIV\/AIDS. Thus, it is recommended that routine screening for HLs and prophylactic measures should be adopted for the improvement of patients\u2019 health status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1545109710368138","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,7]],"date-time":"2010-06-07T21:02:16Z","timestamp":1275944536000},"page":"150-156","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Prevalence and Management of Intestinal Helminthiasis Among HIV-Infected Patients at Muhimbili National Hospital"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kennedy D.","family":"Mwambete","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology, MUHAS, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Justin-Temu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutics, MUHAS, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharon","family":"Peter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Muhimbili National Hospital, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","first-page":"117","volume":"97","author":"Kam KM","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Trop Med Hyg"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2005.73.777"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coi.2005.09.001"},{"issue":"5","key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"453","DOI":"10.1016\/S0035-9203(99)90333-4","volume":"93","author":"Lwambo NJS","year":"1999","journal-title":"Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg"},{"issue":"1","key":"atypb5","first-page":"8","volume":"3","author":"Mwambete KD","year":"2006","journal-title":"East Afr J Public Heath"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.8009213"},{"issue":"11","key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"613","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3024.2006.00904.x","volume":"28","author":"Brown M.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Parasite Immunol"},{"key":"atypb8","volume-title":"World Development Report: Investing in Health","author":"World Bank.","year":"1993"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S1413-86702001000600008"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4314\/ejhd.v17i1.9783"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00034983.2000.11813539"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0169-4758(00)01689-6"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-5699(99)01499-1"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2249.1996.d01-612.x"},{"key":"atypb15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.90.3.948"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/IAI.67.10.5372-5378.1999"},{"key":"atypb17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2249.2004.02719.x"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-3024.2001.00407.x"},{"key":"atypb19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2002.66.749"},{"key":"atypb20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-8553(05)70269-7"},{"key":"atypb21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.30.12.3213-3216.1992"},{"key":"atypb22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2249.1998.00736.x"},{"key":"atypb23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0074-02762004000700020"},{"key":"atypb24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0031182000006491"},{"issue":"5","key":"atypb25","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1661S","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/133.5.1661S","volume":"133","author":"Steketee RW","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Nutr"},{"key":"atypb26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.320.7251.1697"},{"issue":"16","key":"atypb27","first-page":"2032","volume":"294","author":"Elliott AM","year":"2005","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"atypb28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/513274"},{"key":"atypb29","volume-title":"National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), and ORC Macro.
