<p>The prevalence of <em>Salmonella,</em> <em>Shigella, </em>and intestinal parasites was 2.2%, 0.7%, and 28.2%, respectively. <em>Entamoeba histolytic</em>a/<em>dispar</em> was the predominant parasite detected. All <em>Salmonella</em> and <em>Shigella</em> isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol 9/9 (100%). <em>Salmonella</em>, 8/9 (88.9%) and <em>Shigella</em>, 3/3 (100%) were ampicillin resistant. Fingernail status (AOR=10.36, 95% CI: 5.64, 19.03), medical checkups (AOR=10.36, 95% CI: 5.64, 19.03), hand washing before meals (AOR=3.06, 95% CI: 1.09, 8.63) and after using toilet (AOR=3.21, 95% CI: 1.40, 7.33) were significantly associated with intestinal infections.&nbsp;</p>
