    Abstract:
    The aim of this first study was to assess parasitic diseases encountered in histological practice in Burkina Faso. An examination of 3410 pathological specimens showed 138 cases of parasitic diseases which represented 4% of the results observed for 5 years in the laboratory of YALGADO OUEDRAOGO National Hospital. The parasitic diseases diagnosed were in decreasing order Schistosomiasis 53.6%, Cysticercosis 13.1%, Mycetoma 12.3%, Cutaneous Leishmaniasis 8%, Amebiasis 6.6%, Filariasis 4.3%, and Histoplasmosis 2.1%. We recommend better data collection for integration of these diseases into the health policy of Burkina.
