Intestinal parasites	217	96 (44.2)*
Tuberculosis	181	49 (27.1)†
Malaria	52	7 (13.5)
Hepatitis A virus	161	14 (8.7)

*Evidence of infection with >1 of the following: Giardia intestinalis flagellates (n = 75, 34.6%), Blastocystis hominis protozoa (n = 34, 15.7%), Hymenolepsis nana tapeworms (n = 2, 0.9%), Dientamoeba fragilis protozoa (n = 2, 0.9%), Ascaris lumbricoides roundworms (n = 2, 0.5%), or Trichuris trichiura roundworms (0.5%).
†By tuberculin skin testing (induration >10 mm; n = 46), interferon-γ release assay (n = 1), or both (n = 2). Latent tuberculosis infection was diagnosed in 48 children. Tuberculosis disease was diagnosed initially in 1, but was later reassessed as latent tuberculosis infection; medications for disease were stopped after 4 months of treatment.
‡Initial screening tests results were positive in 2 additional children, but confirmatory tests were negative.
