			*Hookworm and whipworm infestations also cause iron-deficiency anemia
			**Adult worms attach to intestinal wall to feed, causing ongoing luminal blood loss
			*'''Löffler’s syndrome'''

==Differential Diagnosis==

==Workup==

==Management==
*[[Ascaris]]: albendazole 400 mg x 1 dose OR mebendazole 100 mg BID x 3 days (both high efficacy)

*[[Whipworm]] (Trichuris): albendazole 400 mg x 1 dose
**Historically treated with albendazole or mebendazole, but monotherapy has low efficacy against Trichuris especially in heavy infections; higher cure rate achieved with oxantel pamoate-albendazole combination compared to any monotherapy in recent RCT <ref>Speich B, Ame S, et al. "Oxantel Pamoate–Albendazole for Trichuris Trichiura Infection." New England Journal of Medicine, 2014; 370: 610-620.</ref>

*[[Hookworm]]: albendazole 400 mg x 1 dose (high efficacy) OR mebendazole 500 mg x 1 dose (low to moderate efficacy)

*Iron supplements in [[anemia]]
