The aim of our report was to study prevalence of intestinal helminth infection among preschool-aged children in Chernivtsi region. A total of 520 children aged 1-7years were studied through clinical andparaclinical investigations and questionnaire concer-ning housing, socio-economic conditions etc. In our results, preschool-based deworming programmes must be promoted as a cost-effective strategy for control of nematode infections. So there are simple ways of improving personal hygiene and sanitation through hand washing, nail trimming and use of a latrine hygiene and clean water supplies must be encouraged. When a urinary tract infection is diagnosed in preschool-age girls, cellophane tape tests should be applied to both the perianal and the perineal regions on at least three consecutive days. In case of anemia attention must be concentrated on developing of rational nutritional guidelines and iron deficiency correction.
