ORIGINAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS

Ascariasis and malnutrition. A study in urban Ethiopian children

L Freij, GW Meeuwisse, NO Berg, S Wall and M Gebre-Medhin

Treatment of 13 urban Ethiopian children with mild ascariasis did not produce any evidence of improved intestinal morphology and absorption or nutritional status. Ascariasis treatment had no impact on anthropometric measures in an additional study group of 84 children. A review of the literature reveals that the nutritional consequences of ascariasis are uncertain.
