Abstract Intestinal parasites are a serious public health problem where the high prevalence is associated with a lack of education, inade-quate hygienic habits and sanitary infrastruc-ture.The present work is a cross-sectional de-scriptive study, where the universe of work are the children of Sapecho A School (Management 2016-2017), work that involved under-graduate and post-graduate students of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science and Bio-chemistry where through coproparasitological studies (Ritchie's technique) it was observed that the majority of the population, between 78.24 and 88.4%, was infected by one or more parasites (Helminths-Protozoa). After perform-ing a massive deworming treatment with al-bendazole (400mg/Two doses) a reduction was reached with respect to the helminths of 53.5 and 65.2%, respectively in each year, howev-er this was not effective against the protozoa. To achieve a successful treatment, the fami-ly group must be treated and the educational component of hygiene and cleanliness should be emphasized.
