Tóm tắt:
Opisthorchis viverrini (O. viverrini) causing Opisthorchiasis is a biological carcinogen of group 1, according to the
World Health Organization. This study aims to investigate the apparent prevalence of O. viverrini infection in the
community of Tuy An district, Phu Yen province and its associated risk factors. A total of 696 stool samples were
collected and examined using the Kato Katz technique. Risk factors were studied by using a structured questionnaire and
the association with infection was evaluated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The prevalence
of O. viverrini infection in the study population determined by stool examination was 8.2%. Males (OR=2.52; 95%CI:
1.37-4.64), the age group of above 60 years (OR=2.16; 95%CI: 1.37-4.54), no education (OR=13.16; 95%CI: 1.34-
129.08), and consumption of raw fish dishes (OR=4.61; 95%CI: 2.12-10.02) were found to be significantly associated
with Opisthorchiasis in the area. These findings confirm the presence of O. viverrini in central Vietnam and the
infection related to the consumption of raw fish dishes. Intergrated awareness campaigns and control programs should
be implemented in the region to combat this potential fatal fluke infection.
