[The socioeconomic criteria of the effectiveness of measures for the sanitary improvement of children's collectives against enterobiasis].

Using social and economic criteria, the efficacy of health improving measures against enterobiasis in the organized groups of pre-school children has been assessed. The introduction of mass treatment of children with vermox into a complex of antienterobiasis measures has a considerable health improving effect, without rendering the procedure more expensive. A considerable difference between the economic damage inflicted by enterobiasis and the economic efficacy of antienterobiasis complex, including mass children treatment, forms the basis for the wide use of anthelmintics in the control of this type of helminthiasis.
