Previous issue date: 2009-07-31 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life practice is essential for the
health and development of children. Studies show there is in human milk protective
antibodies against intestinal parasites and a relationship between the absence
of breastfeeding or weaning and parasitic infections. This work was a prospective
cohort study involving 34 pregnant adolescents attended school in Maternity Januario
Cicco / RN and their children, to assess the influence of breastfeeding on intestinal
parasites in them. Thus, the parasitic infection was investigated by examination of feces
parasitological and environmental factors by use of questionnaires. The average age of
the mothers studied was 16.2 years. Of these 76.4% were infected and the most
prevalent species of parasites were Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (76.9%), Giardia
lamblia (19.2%) and Ascaris lumbricoides (11.5%). The infected children had an
average age of 5.1 months and the frequency of parasites was 61.7%. The infection was
earlier detecctada with 45 days of life. The most common parasites were Giardia
lamblia (40%), Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (35%), Ascaris lumbricoides (5%) and
Ancylostoma (5%). The average length of exclusive breastfeeding was 2.2 months.
There was an association between increased duration of exclusive breastfeeding and
increased time to detection of parasites in the feces of children. There was no
statistically significant correlation between the socio-economic conditions and cultural
and breastfeeding. The data reinforce the importance of breastfeeding to protect the
children in its first year of life / A amamenta??o exclusiva nos primeiros seis meses de vida constitui pr?tica
indispens?vel para a sa?de e o desenvolvimento da crian?a. Estudos mostram existir no
leite humano anticorpos protetores contra enteroparasitos e uma rela??o entre a aus?ncia
do aleitamento ou desmame e infec??es parasit?rias. Neste trabalho realizou-se um
estudo de coorte prospectivo, envolvendo 34 gestantes adolescentes atendidas na
Maternidade Escola Janu?rio Cicco/RN e seus filhos, para avaliar a influ?ncia do
aleitamento materno nas parasitoses intestinais dos mesmos. Para tanto, a infec??o
parasit?ria foi investigada por exame parasitol?gico de fezes e os fatores ambientais por
aplica??o de question?rios. A idade m?dia das m?es estudadas variou de 14 a 19 anos,
com m?dia de 16,2 anos. Destas, 76,4% estavam infectadas e as esp?cies de parasitos
mais prevalentes foram Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (76,9%), Giardia lamblia (19,2%)
e Ascaris lumbricoides (11,5%). Os filhos infectados apresentaram m?dia de idade de
5,1 meses e a frequ?ncia de parasitoses foi de 61,7%. A infec??o mais precoce foi
detecctada com 45 dias de vida. Os parasitas mais freq?entes foram: Giardia lamblia
(40%), Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (35%), Ascaris lumbricoides (5%) e Ancylostomo
(5%). O tempo m?dio de amamenta??o exclusiva foi de 2,2 meses. Observou-se
associa??o entre um maior tempo de amamenta??o exclusiva e um maior tempo para a
detec??o de parasitos nas fezes das crian?as. N?o foi encontrada correla??o
estatisticamente significativa entre as condi??es socioecon?micas e culturais e a
amamenta??o. Os dados obtidos refor?am a grande import?ncia do aleitamento materno
em proteger a crian?a no seu primeiro ano de vida
