RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Introduction: Intestinal parasites are important enteric pathogens. Poverty, low quality of food and water supply and poor sanitation systems are the important factors associated with intestinal parasitic infections. These kinds of infections can be a good index for hygienic and sanitation status of the society. The aim: To study dynamics of infectious and parasitic diseases (for 2008-2013 years) among the children population in Dnipro region and to define influence of water factor on the disease and prevalence given class of illnesses. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Retrospective study of infectious and parasitogenic diseases (Ð class by ICD-10) among children population from rural districts of Dnipropetrovsk region for 2008-2013 years was carried out. RESULTS: Results: It was spent correlation analysis between some indicators of potable water quality of diseases of the given class in all districts. In the majority of rural districts, was shown increasing Ð class of diseases from (1.4 to 1.63) times in dynamics. In some districts was reveled an average correlation link between content in water of the dry residue, chlorides, sulphates, calcium, magnesium, except rigidity and iron and prevalence Ð class of diseases (r=0.50, p<0.001). Prevalence of the given class of diseases was correlated with ÑÐ, nitrates, oxidability in the three rural districts of Dnipropetrovsk region (r=0.74-0.89, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It has been shown that the composition of drinking water consumed by the rural population remains one of the basic factors in the formation of public health in the conditions of small exposure of the influence individual indicators of salt and chemical composition. The children's cohorts were the most sensitive to these indicators.
