ABSTRACT

The human Coccidiosis is infections produced by emerging intestinal coccidia, that cause diarrheal syndromes. They are opportunistic agents; the infection occurs by faecal-oral road, through water and contaminated foodstuff. Its incidence is bigger in children from one to four years and lower in superior ages, although it is very important in inmunocompromised patients. A pre-experimental study was carried out, where a system of activities was applied for the sake of raising the level of knowledge of the 3rd and 4th years of Medicine's carrer students of the North Moron University Policlinic on Coccidiosis . The universe was constituted by the 45 students of 3th and 4th years of Medicine's carrer; from whom it was taken 30 students's sample. Satisfactory results in all the variables measured during the study was reached and the knowledge level of polled students on Coccidiosis before the application of the activities system was only a 35,0% satisfactory; and later the 100,0% of the students had a satisfactory level. Rising the level of students knowledge about the disease, which it will permit the correct handling, treatment and its prevention.
