Resumen
Descripción
Worms infect more than one third of the
world's population, with the most intense infections in
children and the poor. In the poorest countries, children
are likely to be infected from the time they stop
breast-feeding, and to be continually infected and
re-infected for the rest of their lives. Only rarely does
infection have acute consequences for children. Instead, the
infection is long-term and chronic, and can negatively
affect all aspects of a child's development: health,
nutrition, cognitive development, learning and educational
access and achievement. All the common worm infections in
school-age children can be treated effectively with two
single dose pills: one for all the common intestinal worms
(hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms) and the other for
schistosomiasis (bilharzia). The treatment is safe, even
when given to uninfected children.
