Summary

Description
English: This diagram represents the diagnostic algorithm which is implemented when diagnosing hookworm infections (as recommended by the CDC of the United States Federal Government). Usually the first sign of infection is itching, and a rash, i.e. at the site where skin touched the contaminated soil or sand, occurring when the larvae penetrate the skin. In cases of heavy infection, or when malnutrition is coincidental, an infected individual may experience a puritic rash, fatigue, nausea, epigastric pain, bloating, cramping, flatus and diarrhea. Long term infections when large numbers of hookworm are present, or when infection is accompanied by malnutrition, can lead to anemia. enervation and weight loss.
