Presentation
In the present study, we report a molecular-based survey of human hookworm infections present in southern and northeastern Thailand. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although, N. americanus was the predominant hookworm species in the present study, A. duodenale also occurred. [scialert.net]

Entire Body System
- Weight Loss
A 62 years old Bengali female was referred to the Gastroenterology clinic for generalized abdominal pain, unintentional weight loss and mild iron deficiency anemia. Physical examination was unremarkable. [journals.lww.com]
The patient also had complaints of pale skin, fever, heartburn, decreased appetite and weight loss. [bioscmed.com]
These signs may be followed by abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite and weight loss, and anemia. Hookworm can also cause difficulty breathing, enlargement of the heart, and irregular heartbeat. [medicinenet.com]

Treatment
A total of 29 individuals infected with hookworm were offered treatment with either pyrantel pamoate at a single dose rate of 10 mg/kg body weight or albendazole (single 400 mg dose). Seven days after treatment stool samples were examined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They examined the effects of community-directed treatments versus school-based treatments in the Tanga Region of Tanzania. [stanford.edu]

This should have important implications for studying fundamental aspects relating to anthelmintic efficacy and the epidemiology of hookworms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Moreover, the epidemiological situation may not be the same as previously reported. For example, the relative distribution of the 2 species may vary from one endemic locality to the other. [scialert.net]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology After the eggs of Ancylostoma pass from the stool of their host, the eggs hatch into larvae. In favorable conditions, this occurs in 1 to 2 days. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Improvement in sanitation measures in developing countries is necessary for prevention of infection. Diagnosis - Ancylostoma duodenale Diagnosis can be determined by looking for hookworm eggs in a recently collected stool sample. [checkorphan.org]

However, other than preventive chemotherapy, improving the general sanitation and hygiene can have a great impact on preventing infection and reinfection by Ancylostoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
