Abstract

The nutritional status of children with heavy intestinal parasites was studied as 
compared to children of similar socio-economic background and characteristics 
with non parasitic infections. The result revealed the fact that the children with 
heavy intestinal parasites were shorter in heights and lower in weights than non 
infected children. They also exhibited more skin infections, angular scars and 
dental caries than their non infected counter parts
