Abstract
Objective. To study the intensity of the epidemic process of giardiasis in a large industrial region (Donetsk) according to long-term morbidity trends. Materials and methods. Giardiasis incidence rates in Donetsk over 2001-2017 were analyzed according to statistical data. The average incidence rates per 100,000 population in different corresponding age groups (under 1 year, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-17 years and older) were compared to identify risk groups. Morbidity rates were also estimated in children attending and not attending preschool institutions. Results. During 17 years, there was a marked tendency to reduce the incidence of giardiasis by 3.16 times. The pediatric population was, on average, 11.51 times more often infected with Giardia. The age group at risk for this disease is children aged 5-9 years. Socially organized children are less frequently ill. Conclusion. Among the population of the large industrial region, there is an intense epidemic process of giardiasis in preschool children, especially in those who do not attend preschool institutions.
