Effect of deworming on nutritional status of ascaris infested slum children of Dhaka, Bangladesh

Nihar Ranjan Sarkar et al. Indian Pediatr. 2002 Nov.

Abstract

This randomized double blind community trial was conducted on Ascaris infested children (n = 85) aged 2 to 12 years and was aimed to study the impact of deworming on nutritional status, in an urban slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The change of weight gain was significantly higher in children given anthelmintics than those given placebo (0.92 kg vs. 0.54 kg). A multiple linear regression model shows that after controlling sex, deworming and height were positively correlated while age and weight were negatively correlated with weight change.
