EXAMINATION

Infection by intestinal parasitic worms (geohelminths) is widespread throughout the world, affecting hundreds of millions of people.

INTRODUCTION

Trichuris trichiura

Ascaris lumbricoides

Ancylostoma duodenale

Trichinae

Parasitic infection may spread through contaminated water, fruits, vegetables, grains, poultry, fish or meat. Parasites, in addition, can be transferred from pet to owner. Since children spend more time outdoors, they're more likely than adults to be exposed to parasites.

 Heavy infections with roundworm can

cause bowel obstruction. Intestinal worms - especially hookworm - can contribute to anemia by causing intestinal bleeding and thus loss of blood. The larger the number of worms, the more likely they are to make a person ill. Chronic infections can lead to long-term retardation of mental and physical development and, in very severe infections, even death.
