摘要: Hookworm infection is associated with anemia, especially among children and deworming can improve anemic status; however, little information available about the degree to which anemia improves after deworming. We chose hookworm-endemic rural areas of Thailand, Nan Province in north, Kanchanaburi west Nakhon Si Thammarat south, evaluate this problem. Subjects were selected by primary school-based stool egg examinations. Blood tests 182 hookworm-positive school children, composed 22 heavy, 65 moderate 95 light infections, compared a control group 57 who helminth-free both before receiving medicine. Before deworming, red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular (MCH) concentration (MCHC) albumin levels hookworm-infected groups significantly lower than group. The Hb Hct showed an inverse relationship intensity hookworm infection. After Hb, Hct, total protein improved within 2 months become comparable One year test results not different from each other.
